Bodegas El Nido emerged through a partnership between Chris Ringland and the Gil family of Bodegas Juan Gil. This dynamic collaboration capitalizes on the richness of mature Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vineyards, coupled with old-vine Monastrell from the mountain valleys North of Jumilla. The flagship wine, El Nido, combines 60-70% Cabernet, complemented by carefully chosen portions of Monastrell and Syrah. Following a detailed winemaking process, the wine undergoes a 24-month maturation period, predominantly in French barriques. With an additional year of bottle ageing before release, El Nido exhibits the potential for extended cellaring, offering a rewarding experience for those with patience and a deep appreciation for the finest expressions of Jumilla`s terroir.
