The Story
A tribute to Jean Leon's hometown of Santander, the starting point for a life marked by extraordinary success.
Situated at 275 meters, the 10-hectare Palau vineyard is divided into two areas with different soil characteristics that are perfect for growing Merlot. The moderately deep, yellowish brown soil is well-drained, medium to moderately fine in texture, and does not contain stones. Organic matter content is very low, and calcium carbonate and active limestone levels are moderate. The water holding capacity is very high.
Jean Leon wines were precursors of what we now call Single Vineyard Wines (Vi de Finca in Catalan). This designation, issued by the Catalan government, guarantees that the wine originates in a specific vineyard and displays a unique personality born from the interplay of the soil, the vines, the microclimate and the work carried out in the vineyard.
