Jean Leon Vinya Gigi
Jean Leon's charisma and discretion took him to the inner circles of Hollywood stars, with whom he felt very much at home.
Years later, he would honour his own family by producing this wine from a vineyard named after his daughter.
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 behind it, making it the oldest wine region in Catalonia, the DO Penedès is broad and open, stretching along a strip of land between the sea and the mountains, halfway between Barcelona and Tarragona. The influence of the sun and the Mediterranean Sea make Penedès a privileged territory for vine cultivation. From its uniqueness arises the diversity of DO Penedès wines. A thousand flavors and aromas are the result of climatic, landscape, and soil differences.
