Jean Leon 3055 Merlot Petit Verdot

Jean Leon's 3055 red wine is an ode to his heritage and his craftsmanship. Inspired by his taxi license number from his American years, Jean Leon created a wine in Penedes in 1963 that is both powerful and elegant. Through the perfect combination of soft Merlot and robust Petit Verdot, he created a unique blend. These vines, planted since 1997, have been certified organic since 2008, a testament to Jean Leon's commitment to sustainability.

Manual Harvest for the Jean Leon 3055

Every September, the Jean Leon team tastes the Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes daily. When they reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested by hand. The Merlot is picked first, followed by the Petit Verdot. Both grape varieties are vinified separately before being blended. After blending, the wine is aged for two months in oak barrels in Jean Leon's cellars, absorbing the rich notes of the oak without losing its softness.
