The Bodegas El Nido winery is a hidden gem in the wine region of Jumilla, Spain. Located about 80 kilometers from the Mediterranean, the estate is nestled within a hilly landscape, surrounded by olive and almond groves, offering an ideal climate for grape cultivation. Established in 2001, El Nido is the fruit of a collaboration between the Gil family, one of the most respected families in Spanish winemaking, and Chris Ringland, a renowned Australian winemaker. This partnership has given birth to a unique winery that combines traditional local know-how with modern Australian techniques. The estate spans approximately 44 hectares of vineyards, dotted with vines over 80 years old. The soil there is arid and rocky, composed mainly of limestone, ideal for producing characterful wines. Bodegas El Nido is renowned for its powerful and tasty red wines, made mainly from Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. These wines are known for their concentration, complexity, and elegance, and regularly win international awards. The estate's winery is a true hymn to technology and innovation. Equipped with modern facilities and cutting-edge equipment, it allows for high-quality winemaking. The aging is done in French and American oak barrels, carefully selected to add the final touch to these exceptional wines. Bodegas El Nido's approach is centered on respect for the environment, with vineyard work carried out in sustainable agriculture. The estate has thus implemented multiple measures to preserve biodiversity, such as limited use of phytosanitary products and protection of local animal species.
