Bodegas El Nido 'Clio' 2018

Bodegas El Nido 'Clio' 2018 is a renowned Spanish wine from the DO Jumilla, composed of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. The old Monastrell vines are carefully pruned to ensure a low yield. The grapes are hand-picked and only the finest are selected for production. The wine is aged for 24 months in new French and American oak barrels. The annual production is around 6000 cases, which does not meet global demand, especially since many Spanish Michelin restaurants buy a large part of the production.

The wine has a deep purple color with an almost black core. The aroma is intense and complex with notes of blueberries, blackberries, spices and oak. The taste is full and rich, characterized by concentrated dark fruits, spices and oak. The tannins are perfectly integrated and the acidity is well balanced. The finish is long and seductive.

Serve the wine at a temperature of 16-18° degrees. It can be enjoyed now after a few hours of aeration, but we recommend letting it mature for another 3-4 years. The wine has the potential to age for up to 17-20 years from the year of harvest.

Clio is among Spain's most sought-after wines, known for its intensity, body and strength that few other wines can match. Bodegas El Nido has mastered the art of balancing these elements with perfectly integrated tannins and a balanced acidity.
