Tasting Notes
In the glass, Nucli Bianco 2020 shows a bright, pale straw-yellow color with subtle greenish reflections, hinting at its youthful freshness. The nose is inviting and expressive, with notes of citrus blossom, lemon zest and ripe green apple layered over hints of white peach, fresh herbs and a gentle saline touch from the Mediterranean influence. On the palate, the wine is crisp, light to medium-bodied and perfectly balanced between Macabeo’s soft, rounded fruit and Sauvignon Blanc’s zesty acidity. Expect flavors of juicy pear, lime, and subtle tropical fruit, backed by a refreshing minerality and a clean, dry finish. This is a wine meant to be enjoyed in its youth for maximum freshness and aromatic lift; drink over the next 1–3 years to capture its lively, vibrant character.

Production
The grapes for Neleman Nucli Bianco are grown in organically farmed vineyards around Valencia, where Mediterranean breezes, generous sunshine and cooling night temperatures help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. Soils in the area are typically a mix of limestone and clay, giving both freshness and structure to the wine. The vines are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers, following ecological and biodynamic principles. Harvest is timed to keep the fruit bright and aromatic, often picked in the cooler hours of the day to maintain freshness. In the cellar, a gentle pressing is followed by a cool, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to protect the delicate aromatics of Macabeo and Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is then rested briefly on its lees for added texture and finesse before bottling, with minimal intervention and no unnecessary additives.

Food & Serving
Neleman Nucli Bianco 2020 is a versatile food wine that shines alongside light, fresh dishes. Pair it with seafood such as grilled prawns, steamed mussels, ceviche or simply prepared white fish, as well as Mediterranean salads, goat cheese, vegetable tapas, sushi, and light pasta with herbs or lemon-based sauces. Serve well-chilled at around 7–9°C to highlight its crisp, aromatic profile. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour. If possible, let the wine sit in the glass for a few minutes to allow the citrus and floral notes to fully unfold.
