A Second Chance To Get Clio!

CAPTIVATING CLIO

"We lucked out and received a second shipment of the 2018 vintage of the highly sought-after ‘Clio’ wine from El Nido. This is the collaboration between the Gil family, one of Spain’s leading wine families, and Chris Ringland, one of Australia's best winemakers. Year after year, the wines from El Nido are exceptional – lush, powerful and intense – with the Clio being predominantly Monastrell (aka Mourvedre). El Nido is one of Spain's most 'collectible' wines, and we can’t keep the wines on the shelves! By the time the scores come out, they are sold out! This opulent wine pairs magnificently with pasta dishes, all sorts of meats (stews, grilled meats, roasts), sausages and mature cheeses." – Jim Knight The Wine House

ABOUT EL NIDO

The winery is placed in the Valley of the Aragona, 10 kilometers north of the town of Jumilla, in the "top boundary", so named because it is the highest altitude in the municipality. The vineyards, located in the surrounding of the winery are planted on soils mostly of limestone and very stony surface. In the basement, about 30/40 cm. depth is a layer of coarse (medium consistency limestone) that covers the entire vineyard; its thickness ranges between 15 and 30 cm, having under a very sandy soil where the roots extend. The altitude varies from 700 m. and 850 m. above the sea level. They consist of small plots with a total of 32 hectares of the Monastrell variety, with some very old vines -almost centenarians-, 12 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon vines, and 1.8 acres of Syrah planted on hills facing the north.
