Description
Clio Jumilla, is produced by Bodegas El Nido of the famous winemaker Juan Gill. The grapes for this wine are made from 12 Ha -29.65 acres- Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and 32 Ha -79 acres- very old Monastrell, with a very low yield. The vineyards are over 60 years old. The grapes are harvested manually with small baskets to avoid bruising. The bunches are brought to triage tables where only the best grapes are selected. The wine ages for 20-24 months in French and American new oak barrels where it acquires a very typical complexity. After that, the wine always gets a few more months of bottle aging and is then always released around the end of October/November of the year. The Clio is vinified by grandmaster Chris Ringland (at Parker good for 100/100). Given the huge demand and very limited supply, this wine is, as is the case for the top model EL Nido , the Blue Label (18 months) from Juan Gil and the Corteo, the importers receive an allocation (which is always too little). Despite the price, this is still unique compared to other wines of the same quality and from that point of view a 'bargain'
The quality jumps out of the glass immediately at the start of the smell: earthy, mushrooms, leather, blueberry and blackcurrant jam. The taste is also particularly complex but smooth at the same time in which we find blue and blackberries, some herbs and a light pepper. Powerful wine with an exceptional balance and length. Breathtaking and of a very high level.

Miguel Gil, recorded owner of the top domain Juan Gil, chose quality over quantity in Jumila, undiscovered for years, out of respect and love for his region (and great wine!) For the mini project of Bodegas El Nido, he calls on the Australian top winemaker Chris Ringland (at Parker good for 100/100…) 2 wines are made at this small Bodega: Clio & El Nido. The 16 ha Monastrell followed of 60 years old perched on terraces oriented northeast. Furthermore, 25 years ago, 12 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted on the hills with an oblique north in the same region. Today, these unique top quality mature grapes, magnificently bred by the Gil-Ringland duo, offer the most aristocratic wines in Spain.
The entire international wine press is unanimous in its assessment of the El Nido and Clio wines. Unprecedentedly good and fitting to the top of Spanish wines. In absolute terms, the El Nido and the Clio are not cheap, but in relative terms (eg compared to top Bordeaux) the Clio and Nido cost a fraction and therefore have an unprecedented good price / quality. In our beautiful selection of wines, the El Nido and Clio should not be missing in the opinion of Miquel and Juan Gil.
