Description
Bodegas El Nido is a project of the Gil Vera Family from Jumilla together with the Australian winemaker Chris Ringland; it was born in 2002. The wines, Corteo, Clio and El Nido, come from the grapes of the oldest vineyards that the Gil family owns around the winery. The El Nido Corteo from the bodega of the same name is among the top 25 best wines of Spain and is the top wine of the domain of Juan Gill (the 2022 is the successor of the 2019). The La Vina de Corteo from Bodegas El Nido and is only made in the absolute top years. In the 2009 vintage, this 100% Syrah Corteo was produced for the first time.
The La Viña de Corteo is their pure Syrah from a vineyard of just 1.8 hectares so only around 1000 bottles are ever made. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks with open lids and finished by fermenting in French and American oak barrels where the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 28-30 months. This great one has notes of baked corn and is a very toasty, ripe and concentrated style of Syrah, much closer to the wines of Australia (no wonder!) than those of the Northern Rhône. It is ripe, full and generously oaked, with abundant toasty notes and dusty tannins.
"Corteo combines aromatic intensity with harmony and mouth filling sensation. The persistent finish, with a lasting, velvety impression and harmony is noteworthy. It is impossible to fail with this wine"

Miguel Gil, recorded owner of the top domain Juan Gil, chose quality over quantity in Jumila, undiscovered for years, out of respect and love for his region (and great wine!) For the mini project of Bodegas El Nido, he calls on the Australian top winemaker Chris Ringland (at Parker good for 100/100…) 2 wines are made at this small Bodega: Clio & El Nido. The 16 ha Monastrell followed of 60 years old perched on terraces oriented northeast. Furthermore, 25 years ago, 12 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted on the hills with an oblique north in the same region. Today, these unique top quality mature grapes, magnificently bred by the Gil-Ringland duo, offer the most aristocratic wines in Spain.
The entire international wine press is unanimous in its assessment of the El Nido and Clio wines. Unprecedentedly good and fitting to the top of Spanish wines. In absolute terms, the El Nido and the Clio are not cheap, but in relative terms (eg compared to top Bordeaux) the Clio and Nido cost a fraction and therefore have an unprecedented good price / quality. In our beautiful selection of wines, the El Nido and Clio should not be missing in the opinion of Miquel and Juan Gil.
