Jean Leon winery: the art of winemaking
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' recognition for four of its wines. This is the highest distinction awarded by the Government of Catalonia.
With 65 hectares of vineyards, all our wines have been certified organic since the 2012 vintage.
