Description
The El Nido from the eponymous winery is among Spain's top 25 wines. A top-notch wine from the Juan Gill estate. An average of only 5,000 bottles of El Nido are produced, making it rare, unique, and incomparable. An absolute gem, vinified by grandmaster Chris Ringland (a 100/100 rating at Parker).
El Nido was produced with a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell, fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and aged for 23 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. It is a ripe, powerful, and intoxicating Mediterranean red with generous oak, produced in a very specific style. This is intoxicating and ripe, super powerful with concentration and impact, yet balanced. Just like with Clio, the oak integration is simply superb. This has all the ingredients and balance for beautiful and long-lasting bottle development. It must be one of the finest vintages for El Nido. An average of only 5,000 bottles of El Nido are produced, making it rare, unique, and incomparable. Very limited.

The 2022 El Nido was produced with a blend of 70% Monastrell from 32 hectares of vines with an average age of 76 years of age and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from 12 hectares planted in 1986. It fermented in small stainless steel tanks with neutral yeasts and matured in new French and American oak barrels for 23 months. It's spicy and smoky, with creaminess, ripe berry fruit and a full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly grainy tannins. It has 15% alcohol, a pH of 3.62 and six grams of acidity with three grams of residual sugar. 4,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024.
El Nido is the joint venture between the Gil and Australian winemaker Chris Ringland. The style is ripe and generous in oak, but somehow I found less oak in the wines (and more in Bruto) this year. They produce 70,000 bottles.

September 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2017 El Nido was produced with a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 23 months. This regularly hits the scale at 16% alcohol; it's a ripe, powerful and heady Mediterranean red with generous oak produced in a very specific style that will not please everyone. This is heady and ripe, super powerful with concentration and clout, but in balance. As with the Clio, I feel the integration of the oak is better than ever. Don't get me wrong, this is still generously oaked and ripe. I often describe this as an XXL red but with balance. This has all the ingredients and balance to develop nicely and for a long time in bottle. It has to be one of the finest vintages for El Nido, more Mediterranean than the 2016. 5,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.

I also tasted the 2019 El Nido, produced with a similar blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell as the 2018 I tasted next to it. This wine always ferments in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matures in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 23 months. 2019 was marked by torrential rains during the harvest (200+ liters in Jumilla) and the crop was reduced by 30%. It's a little lower in alcohol at 15.5%. Even if younger and a little creamier, I feel there is better integration of the oak (or the toasted notes from the charred wood) in this 2019 than in the 2018. It's fresher and has better balance in the XXL style of red that doesn't come through as varietal; the grapes feel very integrated, and the varietal character seems diluted in the blend. 5,500 bottles were filled in September 2021.
Bodegas El Nido is a project from the Gil Vera Family from Jumilla together with Australian winemaker Chris Ringland; it was born in 2002. The wines, Clio and El Nido, come from the grapes of the oldest vineyards that the Gil family owns around the winery. In the 2009 vintage, a 100% Syrah called Corteo was first produced. They have 46 hectares of vineyards and produce 70,000 bottles. Both 2018 and 2019 were very challenging vintages in the zone and they had to discard up to 30% of the grapes. 2019, perhaps more challenging because of the torrential rains in September, comes through as a little fresher and more balanced. They expect better 2020s... The vineyards are organically farmed, and the wines will be certified starting with the 2022 vintage.

Bodegas El Nido
Jumilla El Nido 2019
A stylish red, with the savory underpinning of tarry smoke and cured tobacco serving as a fine counterpoint to ripe black currant, fig cake and licorice twist flavors. Gains power and weight from the concentrated flavors and sinewy tannins, but this is deftly knit and fresh. Harmonious today, but should also show well with short-term cellaring. Pretty spice and violet notes play on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell. Drink now through 2034. 450 cases made, 280 cases imported.

From: Mediterranean Spain: Where to Start? (Mar 2021)
Saturated violet. An expansive, spice-accented bouquet evokes cassis, cherry liqueur, fruitcake and potpourri; vanilla and woodsmoke nuances emerge with air. Juicy and deeply concentrated, offering palate-staining, appealingly sweet black and blue fruit preserve, violet pastille, licorice and mocha flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. The floral and mineral notes reverberate emphatically on an extremely long, spicy finish that features mounting tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate.

The goal for this project of the Gil Family (Bodegas Juan Gil), was to explore just how high Jumilla’s quality could be pushed. It has been a big success. The two wines produced here, Clio and El Nido, are considered by many to be among Spain’s finest red wines, regardless of their origin. Famed Australian winemaker Chris Ringland consults. Readers familiar with Ringland’s work will see his imprint on these lush, lavishly fruity and concentrated wines that can also age effortlessly. The estate comprises almost 77 hectares of mostly old-vine Monastrell yielding a fairly large quantity of wine.

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.
