Press release: Neleman 10 year anniversary

Neleman, the Dutch-Spanish wine brand of organic wine pioneer Derrick Neleman, was founded ten years ago. Ten years of uninterrupted passion for more organic wine at the expense of regular wine. With more than 1,700 points of sale in the Netherlands and available in 37 countries worldwide, the mission Good wine to save the world can be called a success.   

Nature is doing all the work ... 

Derrick Neleman, founder of Neleman and a pioneer in organic wine for more than 20 years, is modestly proud but immediately emphasizes that the work is not yet done. "Is there a limit to our growth? No. Because it is desperately needed. When I think about that mere 6% organic wine production, I say: You don't have to buy mine, but at least buy organic wine!" Derrick sees two threats: the wine industry itself, which is super conservative, and the anti-alcohol lobby."   

... and we get the award. 

So Neleman continues to draw attention to organic wine. And that they are now producing top quality has been recognised. Wine professionals from home and abroad are enthusiastic. Every year, gold medals in internationally renowned wine competitions such as Mundus Vini, Berlin Wine Trophy and Decanter. And great reviews from the most respected wine critics such as Jancis Robinson MW, Robert Parker Wine Advocate and James Suckling. Recently, another high score in the Volkskrant from wine writer Onno Kleyn. For no less than two wines at the same time: the Bike Winemakers Release Chardonnay and Tempranillo!   

Celebrating and more 

Derrick Neleman: “The tricky thing is of course that pesticides are still permitted, despite the fact that the adverse effects on people and the environment are well known. That is why we, as organic producers, have to keep explaining what the difference is.” And Neleman continues to do so. With stories on the bottle, blogs on the website and the best way: a tour in and around the winery itself, which is increasingly visited by visitors. Icing on the cake, Neleman is introducing a new sparkling wine with a special story: Ivy Loise Sparkling Wine.
