Our online feature this week is the Bodegas Neleman Nucli White (Valencia, Spain) – $16.99 regularly $19.99.
Created by founder Derrick Neleman, Bodegas Neleman, located one hour 15 minutes drive directly west of Valencia, offers a range of vegan wines born from organically-farmed grapes that reflects the terroir with wondrous glory and variety. Their mature vineyards are in the hills to the East of Valencia at Casas del Rey. They are on small land terraces surrounded by olive and almond trees, and Parque Natural de las Hoces del Cabriel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Elegance is always the ambition and deliciousnes is an added bonus.
Our feature this week is their Nucli White, a 70-30 blend of the indigenous Macabeo and Sauvignon Blanc. This white offers an exuberant, full nose with peach and some boxwood. The fresh and fruity, tropical taste makes it a wonderful everyday wine with its beautiful freshness and delicious playful fruit. Nucli is the Catalan word for core, in this case the essence of good wine. Try as an aperitif or with salads, fish or poultry. 12% ABV.
