Persoonlijke gegevens
Clio Jumilla is produced by Bodegas El Nido, owned by renowned winemaker Juan Gill. The grapes for this wine come from 12 hectares (29.65 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and 32 hectares (79 acres) of very old Monastrell, with a very low yield. The vineyards are over 60 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand using small baskets to prevent bruising. The bunches are brought to sorting tables where only the best grapes are selected. The wine ages for 20-24 months in new French and American oak barrels, where it develops a very characteristic complexity. The wine is then bottle-aged for several more months and is then released around late October/November of the year. The Clio is vinified by grandmaster Chris Ringland (a 100/100 Parker). Given the enormous demand and very limited supply, this wine, like the top model EL Nido , the Blue Label (18 months) from Juan Gil, and the Corteo, importers receive an allocation (which is always too little). Despite the price, this is still unique compared to other wines of similar quality and, from that perspective, a "bargain."
The quality immediately jumps out of the glass upon arrival: earthy, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackcurrant jam. The palate is also remarkably complex yet smooth, revealing notes of blueberry and blackcurrant, some spice, and a hint of pepper. A powerful wine with exceptional balance and length. Breathtaking and of a very high caliber.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2023 Clio geeft een volle, krachtige smaak van rijpe zwarte bessen en pruimen met duidelijke tonen van vanille, toast, spice en rokerig eiken, aangevuld met aardse en leerachtige accenten en een frisse zuurgraad ondanks 15% alcohol. Daardoor past hij uitstekend bij rijke rund- en lamsgerechten, gemarineerd of gegrild vlees en wild, omdat de stevige tannines en de eik de vette en umami-rijke sauzen en geroosterde smaken kunnen dragen en de frisse zuurte de smaakbalance bewaart. Klaarmaakwijzen die extra goed werken zijn hoge- temperatuur grillen of direct bakken voor een mooie korst bij steak, langzaam geroosterd lam of wild met kruiden zoals rozemarijn en jeneverbessen, en kruidige barbecue met een lichtzoete glaze die de subtiele restsuiker en vanilletonen van de wijn complimenteert. |
Parker
The 2023 Clio was produced with 70% Monastrell from very old vines and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1986. It fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matured in new French and American oak barrels for 23 months. It has tons of spices, vanilla, toast and smoke, oaky notes that dominate the nose. It's full-bodied, with 15% alcohol, a pH of 3.57 and 6.1 grams of acidity, and it has more freshness than last year but keeping 3.4 grams of residual sugar and a finish dominated by oak flavors. It's for fans of the style. 42,0000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2025.
El Nido is the joint venture between the Gil and Australian winemaker Chris Ringland. The style is still ripe and generous in oak. They produce 70,000 bottles. 2023 was a year of extreme drought and highly uneven ripening that required a lot of precision in the harvesting dates and resulted in a sharp drop in production and significant heterogeneity. The wines are robust and structured but with good acidity. But I found them so oaky that I couldn't get past the wall of oak aromas and flavors. Drink Date: 2027 - 2033

From: The Rambunctious Catalan Mediterranean and Beyond (Sep 2024)
The 2021 Clio is a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the 1936-planted Zingla Vineyard in Jumilla. Aged for 23 months in French and American oak, this garnet-hued wine offers complex aromas of herbs and plums, complemented notes of mint, balsamic and ash. Concentrated and rich on the palate, it flows with a silky texture, culminating in a velvety finish. This is a ripe, sun-kissed red with a precisely executed barrel-aging regimen.

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.
