NELEMAN
Neleman wines are Spanish organic wines of Valencia with a Dutch heart. With special attention for local authentic grapes, refl ecting the soil and region. Each wine has its own personality and you can taste the passion and love its been made with. We allow nature to do its work. Good wine is made in the vineyard.

VINEYARD & TERROIR
The vineyards are situated in a hilly district set in a mountainous region and cut up by ravines that may be more than 100 m (350 ft) deep. Geologically, most of its rock formations are sedimentary. There are only rare outcrops of metamorphous or volcanic material. The principal sedimentary materials are carbonated rocks like limestone, dolomite and calcareous shale. Amongst the secondary rocks there is an abundance of detritics like clays, silts, sands and gravels. Evaporites like gypsum and salts represent a very small proportion. In the Caroig massif, the limestone that constitutes it favours the formation of underground aquifers, and these are very important for agriculture.

GRAPE VARIETY
65% Tempranillo
35% Monastrell

VINIFICATION & AGEING
Both varieties are produced in a rarely fresh area in Valencia region, at 700 m above sea level. Harvesting is done during night time, avoiding oxidation and high temperatures of day hours. Once in the winery, the must is cooled to 10 °C (sweet maceration). After 3 days, fermentation takes place, controlling the temperature at around 21 °C. Pump-over is done twice a day during the first week and once a day during the second one. Then the marc is pressed and fermentation finishes slowly.
