Product Description

Details

This is the new vintage of the wine Clio, one of the wines that put DO Jumilla in the map of world wine back in the day.

This blended Spanish red wine is made by Bodegas El Nido - a branch of Gil Family Estates - from a blend of old Monastrell (70%) vines and Cabernet Sauvignon.

As always, this Crianza red wine was crafted by the prestigious Aussie winemaker Chris Ringland, from Barossa Valley.

Macerated and fermented partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in oak barrels, this organic and vegan red wine from Jumilla was then transferred into new American and French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for over a period of 23 months.

We strongly suggest that you decant the red wine Clio 2022 at least 1 hour before you drink it.

Additional Information

Additional Information

Appearance	The red wine Clio is deep ruby with a garnet rim.
Nose	Succulent black fruit presented in all its forms, from fresh to marmalade-ish. This blend of Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon also suggests caramel and toffee, with some gentle hints of toast, cocoa, Havanna cigars and coffee. In the background, some earthy and mineral nuances.
Palate	Huge, powerful and savoury, and it also shows a distinctive elegance, thanks to Mr. Ringland's masterful touch. Fruit and freshness define the palate, complemented with exotic touches of spices, violets, some vegetal nuances, some toasted notes, and deep mineral undertones. This wine from Bodegas El Nido has a linear, steely acidity, some ripe tannins and very long finish.
Our personal opinion	Rightly bearing a Greek Muse name, the wine Clio 2022 is truly inspiring.

A terrific wine!

Value

Since 2008, my wife and I were introduced to Juan Gil wines and their 2 El Nido & Clio off springs by a friend of us who lives in Abarán, Murcia Spain.
I have an 'El Nido' story about her as well, that I'll tell shortly in an El Nido wine 'review'...
I drank probably about 6 to 12 Clio bottles over the years, and since then it was 'love on first taste' for me and us!
It has always been a very smooth, silky, greatly balanced and powerful wine, that has never disappointed me or us.
I do recommended it very much!

An immensely powerful wine, still in the making. Anyhow, it is already a pleasure.

Ringland and his team have begun to reduce the oak ageing period of Clio. It is a good decision, and I must say tha the wine greatly benefits from it. It still is a big and imposing wine, but the fruit and the terroir are now less suffocated. This will probably peak in 5-7 years.
