"Fuck You" Red DO Valencia 2019

'Good wine to save the world'. The statement that those at Neleman Organic Vineyard make on the home page of their website is a strong one. The kind that stands out. But let us proceed in order. Casas del Rey is a small village located in one of the highest areas of Valencia, in the heart of the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park. During the last century, the main income of its (few) inhabitants came from the cooperative winery they created to pool the grapes from their vineyards and produce their own wines. This winery, called 'Cristo Rey', was founded in 1961, with a capacity of only 11,000 hectolitres. But, due to the declining population, it stopped operating a few years ago. Recently, Derrick Neleman acquired it and officially transformed it into Bodegas Neleman, bringing new energy to the small village. Mainly indigenous Spanish varieties are cultivated, such as Verdil, Tardana, Bobal, Monastrell, Marselan, Tempranillo or Garnacha. Although traditional methods are used, the resulting wines are modern, full of balance, richness and freshness. Neleman wines are strictly organic, produced without the use of pesticides or additives. Because... taking care of nature not only makes for good wines today, but also for eternity!
