The wine

El Nido is, to some extent, the opposite of Clío. Whereas for Clío the main variety is the Monastrell, for El Nido the leading light is the Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon, a grape which imposes its character and gives shape to a wine that's impressive from start to finish.

Even from appearance, its density with its Picota cherry colour and blueish tears tinting the glass, prepare us for a memorable experience. An expressive nose emits aromas of blueberries and blackberries complementing mineral ones, as well as hints of tobacco and chocolate. The toasty, oaky background adds an extra touch of complexity overall to a very complex and mature wine, yet at the same time easy to drink and understand. It signs off juicy and balsamic, making it abundantly clear why international critics absolutely adore it.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

Despite having very similar parameters, like 16% alcohol, the 2021 El Nido came through as fresher and more balanced than the 2020 I tasted next to it. It has a ripe and heady nose with notes of violets and very ripe fruit, spice, toast and a touch of creaminess. It's full-bodied, with density and pungent flavors that are very persistent. The quality of the tannins also feels different, more elegant here. It's still too young and it needs time. 5,000 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....
