Bodegas El Nido Clo 2022

Bodegas El Nido Clo is one of Spain’s most prestigious and highly-rated wines.

Grape Varietal and region:Mourvdre (Monastrell, Mataro) and Cabernet Sauvignon.Classic, authentic and powerful red from Aragona Valley in the highlands of Jumilla. The roots of these tenacious old vines pierce stony soils to penetrate the coarse limestone layer and touch the sandy strip below. The vines grow on a north facing slope that receives little rainfall. These harsh conditions beget intense and impetuous fruits, enhanced by the expertise of time.

Taste profile: Picota cherry colour. Powerful and concentrated aromas of ripe cassis, dark cherry, toasted coffee and liquorice. Robust and flavoursome palate of jammy black fruit, oak, cocoa and sweet liquorice. A full and fleshy mouthfeel with luscious tannins and a persistent spicy jam finish

Winemaking process:The wine ferments and then ages for 24 months in French and American oak barrels.

Fun fact: By Spanish law, a red wine labeled as a Crianza must be aged for two years, with a minimum of one year in an oak barrel and another year in the bottle before its sold.

Top tip: We strongly suggest that you decant the wine for an hour before drinking!
