“Tempranillo and bobal. A great choice for a successful duo. Red fruit, something earthy, something spicy, the smell of good tobacco. Suppleness, friendliness, and yet distinguished. Soft, but beautiful acids. Reminiscent of Burgundy in structure, but with the taste of rural Spain.”
Harold Hamersma
Bodegas Neleman lies within the stunning UNESCO Biosphere
Reserve, Hoces Del Cabriel National Park, in between Valencia
and the La Mancha wine region. The high altitude (around 800m),
limestone rich soils and influence of the Mediterranean Sea provide
an indeal environment for local varieties to thrive in the organically
managed Neleman vineyards .
Derrick Neleman took over the Casas del Ray local cooperative
vinicola in 2014 after it had ceased production, launching Neleman
Organic Wines with a strong eco-friendly drive and carbon
footprint transparency.
Spanish winemaker Diego Fernández Pons produces modern
wines without excessive oak, employing more stainless steel and
concrete.
“Balance, warmth, richness and freshness are paramount. Elegance
is always the ambition. And passion. The most sought-after quality
of all.”
