VINEYARDS
Founded in 2016, Rosario Vera is the newest winery from Gil Family Estates. It is located in the town of Laguardia in the D.O.Ca. of Rioja, Spain. The area was chosen because of its proximity to the Sierra de Cantabria, isolated from maritime influence. Rosario Vera’s vineyards consist of small plots, planted 15 to 60 years ago. Calcareous clay soils, the climate, as well as high altitude make a perfect place to grow vines and obtain high quality grapes.

Gil Family Estates owns or controls approximately 1,766 hectares (4,364 acres) of vineyards throughout their eleven wineries physically scattered across ten different D.O.s, Protected Designations of Origin, in Spain. Each winery has its own personality perfectly defined but working in excellent unity with the rest. Gil Family Estates has unwavering focus on indigenous terroir-driven wines of outstanding value.

The first winery, Bodegas Juan Gil, was founded in 1916 when Juan Gil Giménez, a stone mason and great-grandfather of the present generation, established the winery in the heart of Jumilla. Over 100 years of winemaking history, spanning five generations of continued family ownership, included a laborious restructuring of the family business and led to the company’s rebirth into a global wine powerhouse. All of the wineries under Gil Family Estates are currently run by brothers, Miguel and Ángel Gil.

Since 1999, the rapid ascension of Gil Family Estates has been built upon an absolute commitment to seemingly risky wine investments in outlier appellations. These bets have paid off. Today, the Family continues their focus on old-vine vineyards of indigenous varietals and the prioritization of sustainable farming (organic, dry-farming). This focus, coupled with their investment in technology, reduces the winery’s impact on the environment and results in the production of higher quality wines.
The Gil Family Estates portfolio of wines is sold in over 40 countries and distributed in all 50 U.S. states
