Clio Jumilla is produced by Bodegas El Nido, owned by renowned winemaker Juan Gill. The grapes for this wine come from 12 hectares (29.65 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and 32 hectares (79 acres) of very old Monastrell, with a very low yield. The vineyards are over 60 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand using small baskets to prevent bruising. The bunches are brought to sorting tables where only the best grapes are selected. The wine ages for 20-24 months in new French and American oak barrels, where it develops a very characteristic complexity. The wine is then bottle-aged for several more months and is then released around late October/November of the year. The Clio is vinified by grandmaster Chris Ringland (a 100/100 Parker). Given the enormous demand and very limited supply, this wine, like the top model EL Nido , the Blue Label (18 months) 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 similar quality and, from that perspective, a "bargain." The quality immediately jumps out of the glass upon arrival: earthy, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackcurrant jam. The palate is also remarkably complex yet smooth, revealing notes of blueberry and blackcurrant, some spice, and a hint of pepper. A powerful wine with exceptional balance and length. Breathtaking and of a very high caliber. FACT: In the "Tab: Attachment" you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order this wine.
