“By doing the good things right, you make the world more beautiful! It’s that simple”
With this belief, Derrick Neleman started his study to become a biodynamic farmer. After his training, he ended up on the vineyards in Spain. When he realized how culturally historically important wine is as a binder in a civilization, everything fell into place. Derrick wanted to make the most beautiful wines in optimal cooperation with nature to enable people to experience how beautiful & special life is.
They believe if you take good care of the people who make the wine, then you make better wine & we completely agree! This reflects their personal belief of nurturing the human spirit, in all its variety & glory. With better wine they create more special moments for the people who drink the wines.
Neleman organic wine is made without the use of pesticides & additives. A healthy & balanced soil yields a richer biodiversity that provides a richer breeding ground for tastier grapes. Taking good care of nature not only serves us with good wine today, but more importantly, with good wine for eternity!
Neleman’s are careful with their unique grapes, vineyards & nature around them. Planting a tree for every 175 bottles that they produce & always choosing the most sustainable option in their business operations. They choose young artists, designers & architects to make the design of their labels & packaging. Serving nature & people the right attention.
Vineyards
The vineyard is at the bottom of a very scenic small valley in Valencia. Just below the vineyard runs the river Canyoles providing natural moisture to the soil at the plot, the wine is from a clos. The vineyard is planted north-south so one side of the vines gets the morning sun & the other the evening sun, perfect conditions for some Fucking Good Rosé! Hand-picked & made using the traditional free-run method, with light maceration at 8°C in pre-fermentation stage.
Vinification
Controlled temperature alcoholic fermentation at 18°C in 5.000-liter stainless steel vats, locking in freshness, flavour & finesse. It is the allowed to rest on its delicate lees to lend the wine body & structure.
Tasting Notes
Let the summer begin! A special rose with a beautiful colour. Hints of flowers and cake on the nose and in terms of taste fresh and seductive with the typical Garnacha notes of strawberry. An unprecedentedly long and soft finish for rose.
This is great with North African and Middle Eastern salads and pitta breads. Also very versatile with Asian style dishes, especially pork and prawns.
