STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Jean Leon 3055 Merlot Petit Verdot is a unique blend for the Penedès region, crafted by the Jean Leon winery. This Spanish red wine combines Merlot from an 8-hectare vineyard planted in 1997 with a larger proportion of Petit Verdot from a 12-hectare vineyard planted in 2006. The grapes were carefully harvested and vinified separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, followed by a two-week maceration with the grape skins. This organic red wine then aged for 4 months in French oak barrels, with additional bottle aging before its release to the market. Moreover, this wine is vegan-friendly.
