El Nido 2023 is an iconic wine from Bodegas El Nido, located in Jumilla. This project, initiated by the Gil family and the renowned Australian winemaker Chris Ringland, aims to highlight the potential of old vines and the extreme soils in the high areas of Jumilla. The grapes used come from vineyards over 700 meters above sea level, with limestone and stony soils that promote great concentration due to limited rainfall. Special attention is given to the Monastrell vines, aged between 70 and 90 years, which provide depth and a Mediterranean character. The production includes manual harvesting, fermentation in small tanks, and malolactic fermentation in barrels, followed by aging for two years in new French and American oak barrels. The result is a deep purple wine with dominant aromas of ripe black fruit, spices, dark chocolate, and a mineral undertone. On the palate, it is powerful and meaty, with a balance of acidity and polished tannins. Ideal for pairing with red meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is a wine that can positively evolve in the bottle for years due to its structure.
