The wine

Clío is not just one of Jumilla's greatest wines, its arrival on the market meant a real before and after for Murcia's wines. It's a concentrated and profound wine made primarily from Monastrell grapes grown in century-old vineyards, with the addition of a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The grapes, harvested caringly and placed in small crates, are treated in the winery too with consummate care in order to deliver in due course a dense wine that's an intense Picota cherry colour. It releases aromas of ripe black fruit, almost like jam, to which the oak adds notes of toasted coffee and cocoa, followed on next by hints of liquorice and spices. On the palate, it's flavoursome and robust, having plenty of structure and with sweet, concentrated and luscious tannins. It has a long, seductive finish, with touches of spicy jam. A powerful wine that suits decanting and one which will pair up superbly with fine meats and game dishes.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The 2021 Clio is ripe and heady with 16% alcohol and generous oak. It's faithful to the house style, but like many other wines from the 2021 vintage from the Gil family, this also came through as fresher and more balanced than the 2020 counterpart. It has a full-bodied palate with abundant but finer tannins. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.

The winery

Bodegas El Nido

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....
