NEL2-W - Valencia - Chardonnay: 70% Muscat: 30% - 12%

The Neleman wines reflect the aromas & flavours of Casa Corones, in the Alforins Valley. Here the soil is white limestone & its surprising bright white surface gives its name to the entire region: Vall d’Albaida (The White One). Rain is absorbed like a sponge. When it dries up, the upper layers form a natural barrier, which restricts evaporation. This reserve of moisture contributes to the roots development.

The Chardonnay has been picked at an advanced point of maturation & the Muscat in an early state in order to give a subtle touch of flowers, white fruits & peach in the nose & a wide mouthfeel. Pale in colour with golden reflections. Middle-high aromatic intensity, fresh & exciting, with a long fruity finish. Very well balanced.

Drink this wine with raw & lightly cooked shellfish, grilled fish, fish pâtés, or vegetable terrines & pasta or risotto with spring vegetables.

NELCAN-W - Valencia - Verdejo - 12%

Winemaking Process: The wines of Dutchman Derrick Neleman are always organic and made from indigenous grape varieties. In this case, the wine comes from the DO Valencia and is made from the grape variety that plays the leading role in the Rueda wine region: Verdejo. Like in Rueda, Neleman chooses to harvest his grapes in Valencia at night, which helps to preserve the freshness in the final wine.

Tasting Notes: The wine does not come into contact with wood, and you can taste the flavor of tropical fruit such as mango, pineapple, and papaya, as well as apple, grass, and fennel.

Here's what Harold Hamersma has to say about it: "Verdejo, but not of the screaming type. Rather soft, refined, modest, and already ripe for its age. Apple-like. Look at the color of the figures on the label, and you see the color of the apples you taste: red and yellow. It also has hidden salmiac and a lemon without zest. Sealed with a screw cap because, according to founder Derrick Neleman, this reduces our CO2 footprint. So not only organic and vegan but also good for our planet." The Grote Hamersma, score 8.5

Food Pairings: This wine is perfect to serve with tapas, seafood paella, or shellfish.
