El Nido Clio Jumilla / 750 ml

The 2023 Clio was produced with 70% Monastrell from very old vines and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1986. It fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matured in new French and American oak barrels for 23 months. It has tons of spices, vanilla, toast and smoke, oaky notes that dominate the nose. It's full-bodied, with 15% alcohol, a pH of 3.57 and 6.1 grams of acidity, and it has more freshness than last year but keeping 3.4 grams of residual sugar and a finish dominated by oak flavors. It's for fans of the style. 42,0000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2025. 93 Points Wine Advocate
