2019 | Bodegas El Nido | 'El Nido'

Great aromatic complexity with great concentration and volume. Very intense and forward with scents of blueberry, spices, smoky notes, tobacco, licorice. Full-bodied, candied dark fruit, creamy oak, lovely spicy and juicy finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: I also tasted the 2019 El Nido, produced with a similar blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell as the 2018 I tasted next to it. This wine always ferments in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matures in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 23 months. 2019 was marked by torrential rains during the harvest (200+ liters in Jumilla) and the crop was reduced by 30%. It's a little lower in alcohol at 15.5%. Even if younger and a little creamier, I feel there is better integration of the oak (or the toasted notes from the charred wood) in this 2019 than in the 2018. It's fresher and has better balance in the XXL style of red that doesn't come through as varietal; the grapes feel very integrated, and the varietal character seems diluted in the blend.

Producer Information

Bodegas El Nido is a Spanish winery in the Jumilla DO of Murcia. It is a joint venture between Gil Family Wine Estates, a Spanish winemaking family of Bodegas Juan Gil, and esteemed Australian winemaker Chris Ringland. El Nido focuses on a small production of premium-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Monastrell. The two wines of the portfolio have received extensive praise including consistently high scores from critics. The partnership between Ringland and the Gil family began in 2001, and produced the inaugural vintage of El Nido a year later. The winery is located in the Aragona Valley inside Jumilla, where the high-altitude vineyards are planted on northeast-facing terraces between 2300 to 2800 feet (700-850m) above sea level.
