Jean Leon Nativa Xarel·lo
Land. Environment, Character. The Jean Leon Native range, produced with native Catalan varieties, pays homage to Penedès, the region chosen by Jean Leon to fulfil his dream of making a wine bearing his name. Catalan tiles, a valuable piece of our heritage and traditional culture, provide the inspiration for this collection.
The Wind Rose represents this organic, fresh and elegant Xarel·lo, made from 100% of the quintessential Penedès grape variety.
Jean Leon is a small winery located in the Penedès region. It was founded in 1963 by the Cantabrian Jean Leon (born Ceferino Carrión). He was a visionary who realised his two great dreams: to open the most luxurious restaurant in Hollywood, and to make an exclusive wine to be enjoyed by his important clientele.
The winery, owned by the Torres family since 1994 and managed by Mireia Torres since 2010, was the first to produce a single-variety Cabernet Sauvignon wine in Spain. It was also the first winery in the Penedès region to receive 'Vi de Finca' certification, the highest distinction awarded by the Government of Catalonia.
With 60 hectares of vineyards, all our wines have been certified organic since the 2012 vintage and are exported to over 40 countries.
DO Penedès
With 2,700 years of winemaking history to its name, making it the oldest winemaking region in Catalonia, DO Penedès is a broad, open appellation that stretches across a swathe of land between the sea and mountains, midway between Barcelona and Tarragona. The influence of the sun and the Mediterranean Sea makes Penedès an exceptional region for winegrowing. Its unique nature is responsible for the diversity of DO Penedès wines, with the differences in climate, landscape, and soil resulting in a thousand flavours and aromas.
