Description
Clio Jumilla, is produced by Bodegas El Nido of the famous winemaker Juan Gill. The grapes for this wine are made from 12 Ha -29.65 acres- Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and 32 Ha -79 acres- very old Monastrell, with a very low yield. The vineyards are older than 60 years. The grapes are harvested manually with small baskets to prevent bruising. The bunches are brought to triage tables where only the best grapes are selected. The wine ages for 20-24 months in French and American new oak barrels where it acquires a very typical complexity. The wine is then left to mature in the bottle for a number of months and is then always released around the end of October/November of the year. The Clio is vinified by grandmaster Chris Ringland (good for 100/100 at Parker). Given the enormous demand and very limited supply, this wine, as also applies to the top model EL Nido , the Blue Label (18 meses) 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 the same quality and from that point of view it is a 'bargain'
The quality immediately jumps out of the glass when the scent starts: earthy, mushrooms, leather, blueberry and blackcurrant jam. The taste is also very complex but smooth at the same time, in which we find blue and black berries, some herbs and a light pepper. Powerful wine with exceptional balance and length. Breathtaking and of a very high standard. Delicious double magnum of 3 liters. Only a limited number of bottles are ever made and in this type of bottle the wine is even tastier and has a longer shelf life.

September 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2017 Clio was produced with 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and despite the warm and dry year, it has a little less alcohol than the 2016. It fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matured French and American oak barrels, where it also underwent malolactic and 23 months of élevage. Even this shows nice integration of the oak; Miguel Gil told me the wine from 2017 was so powerful and concentrated that it absorbed the oak like never before. And it's true that both wines from 2017 feel a lot less oaky and more balanced, and they have all the ingredients for a long time in bottle. There are some ashy and smoky undertones and a full-bodied palate with fine tannins a chalky texture and some sweet spices, still young and with a long life ahead of it in bottle. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.

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.
