Very intense on the nose, with lactic notes balanced perfectly with tropical fruit and hints of toast and spices. The entry on the palate is fresh, with a lingering finish and high acidity.
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. Aged on lees for approximately 6 months in French oak barrels
Jean Leon wines were the precursors of what we now call Chateau or Single Vineyard wines. In 2008 the Jean Leon winery began applying organic farming methods and from the 2012 vintage onwards all of their wines have been labelled as certified organic. Jean Leon entrusted his legacy to the Torres family in 1994 and since then the winery has stayed true to the philosophy of its founder and kept fighting tirelessly for his dreams.
