Deze week ontvingen we super mooie cijfers voor onze Neleman wijnen van een van de meest invloedrijke wijnschrijvers wereldwijd, James Suckling. Ook leuk dat hij schrijft dat Spanje misschien wel hét wijnland is dat op dit moment de best drinkbare en meest karaktervolle wijnen ter wereld maakt.
Hieronder lees je het resultaat,
Mooie zomerse dag gewenst!
“This summer my son Jack, Senior Editor Nick Stock and I tasted more than 2,100 wines while in Rioja at the Hotel Viura. It was a lot of wines to get through in about 10 days, but it was a great experience and the many excellent wines, meetings and tastings with winemakers from around Spain just reaffirmed to us that the country is making some of the most drinkable and characterful wines in the world at the moment.”
– James Suckling, CEO & editor
