The wine
El Nido is, in a way, the flip side of Clío. Where Monastrell takes the leading role in Clío, in El Nido it's Bordeaux's Cabernet Sauvignon that steps into the spotlight, a grape that asserts its character and shapes a wine that grips you from start to finish.
El Nido shows a dense, dark cherry colour with bluish tears in the glass. Its nose is expressive, with blueberry and blackberry aromas joined by mineral notes, tobacco and chocolate; the toasted background from the barrel adds an extra layer of complexity to a wine that is mature yet, at the same time, easy to drink and understand. It finishes juicy and balsamic, making it clear why international critics rate it so highly.

The winery
Bodegas El Nido
Bodegas El Nido started out as such in the year 2001. In the hands of the Gil family and the prestigious Australian winemaker Chris Ringland, the first bottles of Nido and Clío were launched onto the market in 2002. Located in the Aragona Valley, just outside the town of Jumilla, the winery lies on stony, limestone soils on a sandy base at around 800 metres above sea level. The vines, dispersed among small parcels mostly situated close to the winery, grow facing north....
