Its robust and versatile style makes it perfect for enjoying on its own or pairing with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, mature cheeses, and flavorful stews. Bodegas El Nido Clio Jumilla 2022 embodies the innovation and craftsmanship of modern Spanish winemaking, offering enthusiasts a premium, full-bodied, and distinctive wine experience that captures the essence of Jumilla terroir.
Clio 2022 is dense and powerful, pouring a deep opaque purple that suggests both richness and intensity. On the nose it offers ripe dark fruit—blackberry, blueberry, cassis—wrapped in aromas of toasted oak, cocoa, espresso, and a whisper of licorice. The oak influence is noticeable but well integrated, bringing spice, vanilla, and a smoky note rather than overwhelming the fruit. Palate-wise it is full-bodied and muscular: the fruit is lush and forward, yet it is supported by firm, well-grained tannins and a steadier acidity that keeps the wine from feeling too heavy. As it evolves in the glass it reveals layers of dried herbs, dark chocolate, and a touch of mineral earth. The finish lingers long, echoing black fruit and spice, leaving a lasting impression of structure, intensity, and elegance.
This is a wine made for food that can match its boldness and depth. It excels with grilled or charred red meats—think ribeye, tomahawk steak, or even game like venison—where the savory crust plays against its dark fruit and oak spice. Rich stews or slow braises, especially those with beef or lamb, bring out Clio’s secondary and tertiary flavors. Dishes with smoked components or a touch of coffee or cocoa (in rubs or sauces) enhance its mocha and espresso notes. On the cheese side, strong aged cheeses—like manchego or well-aged cheddar—offer salt and texture to contrast with its richness. For dessert, something with dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate truffles will reflect its depth without softening its structure.
