Clio el Nido Wine Juan Gil

Grape varieties

70% Monastrell (the typical grape variety of the Jumilla region, known for its strong and aromatic wines).

30% Cabernet Sauvignon (provides structure and elegance).

Vineyards and production

The grapes come from old, low-yielding vines that grow on barren soils and provide concentrated, expressive aromas.

Hand-harvesting and careful selection of the grapes guarantee the highest quality.

The wine matures for 24 months in new French and American oak barrels , which gives it additional complexity and finesse.

Tasting notes

Colour: Deep ruby red with violet reflections, almost opaque.

Aroma: An intense bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackberries, black cherries) combined with notes of cocoa, vanilla, roasted aromas, and sweet spices. Subtle balsamic nuances and a hint of licorice round out the aroma.

Taste: Full-bodied, velvety, and concentrated. The soft tannins are perfectly integrated and harmonize with the juicy fruit and oak notes. The finish is long and impressive, with a fine balance of freshness and opulence.

Recommendations

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.

Food pairing: Ideal with hearty dishes such as grilled meat, game, braised lamb dishes or mature cheese.
