Producer Notes: Bodegas El Nido
Bodegas El Nido is a Spanish winery based in the province of Jumilla, Mercia. It is a joint venture between Gil Family Wine Estates, a Spanish wine family whose most famous property is Bodegas Juan Gil, and respected Australian winemaker Chris Ringland. El Nido specializes in the small production of premium red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell. The wines were critically acclaimed, including consistently high marks from critic Robert Parker. The partnership between Ringland and the Gil family began in 2001, and the first El Nido crop was produced a year later.
The winery is located in the Valley of Aragon in the province of Jumilla, where alpine vineyards are planted on northeast-facing terraces at 700-850 m above sea level. 32 hectares (80 acres) are planted under Monastrell, 12 hectares (30 acres) are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and a small plot is planted with Syrah. El Nido produces three premium wines. The two most famous wines are the Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon blends, each of which is the dominant variety. The third is a small scale wine made from 100% syre. The three wines culminate with a long aging in new French and American oak barrels, with an average of two years each. The total annual production of Bodegas El Nido is small, around 2,500 cases.

Merlot is a popular red wine grape variety known for its smooth texture and fruit-forward flavor profile. Characterized by notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and raspberry, it often features aromas of blackberry, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, and green bell pepper. This medium to full-bodied wine is typically produced in renowned regions such as Bordeaux in France, California in the USA, Chile, Italy’s Tuscany region, and Australia.
The winemaking techniques for Merlot include cold maceration and fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to enhance its complexity. Malolactic fermentation is commonly employed to soften the wine’s tannins. Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled meats like beef and lamb, roasted vegetables, pasta with red sauce, and duck dishes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for casual dining occasions such as barbecues and family gatherings while appealing to both seasoned red wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
