"Just Fucking Good Wine" Red DO Valencia

"Good wine to save the world." The statement that those at Neleman Organic Vineyard make on the home page of their site is a strong one. The kind you notice. But let's 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 hectoliters. But due to population decline, it stopped working a few years ago. Recently, Derrick Neleman acquired it, officially turning it into Bodegas Neleman and bringing new energy to the small village. Mainly native varieties are grown as Spanish, such as Verdil, Tardana, Bobal, Monastrell, Marselan, Tempranillo or Garnacha. While using traditional methods, 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 even to eternity!
