Tasting notes
The 2020 Clio is a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the Zingla Vineyard, which was planted in 1936 in Jumilla. Aged for 22 months in French and American oak barrels, this garnet wine unfolds in the glass with ripe black fruit and dried fruit notes, layered with herbal and oaky nuances and a prominent vanilla tone. Indulgent and bold, the rich palate features a velvety, overwhelming mouthfeel. This is a ripe, concentrated red born under the Mediterranean sun.

The 2020 Clio was produced with a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that were picked at full ripeness (16% alcohol!). It fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matured in French and American oak barrels, where it also underwent malolactic and 22 months of élevage. It has a heady and creamy note, with a lactic twist and spicy notes. It has ripe fruit and abundant aromatic herbs, a full-bodied palate and abundant, slightly dusty tannins. 60,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.
