Bodegas El Nido 2019 El Nido Jumilla Red

Tasting Notes

Bodegas El Nido’s 2019 El Nido Jumilla Red is a deeply colored, glass‑staining purple wine with explosive aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, pipe tobacco, licorice, vanilla bean, raspberries, blackberries, chocolate, nutmeg, and dried herbs. The palate is full‑bodied, ripe, plush, and richly textured, showing candied dark fruit, floral tones, Asian spice, polished chocolate, and praline, all supported by firm, creamy tannins and a long, juicy finish that echoes boysenberry and spice.

The varietal composition is a red blend, with one detailed source noting 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell, a structure that explains the wine’s combination of power, depth, and Mediterranean spice.

For food pairings, the wine’s richness, dark‑fruit concentration, and firm structure make it an excellent match for beef, lamb, game meats, hearty stews, and richly seasoned dishes, especially those featuring roasted or grilled preparations. Its plush texture and spice also complement aged cheeses, braised meats, and pasta with robust sauces, aligning well with the typical pairings for powerful Spanish Monastrell‑based reds.
