Established in the 1960s by the adventurous and ambitious Jean Leon, the winery has carved out a remarkable reputation for its dedication to producing high-end, single-vineyard wines.

Jean Leon, originally from Santander, Spain, was a pioneer in his field, determined to trailblaze new paths in Spanish winemaking.

The winery's production focuses on Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, presenting a bold departure from the traditional cava production synonymous with the region.

Additionally, an on-site restaurant aims to provide an immersive gastronomic experience, pairing Jean Leon wines with local cuisine that celebrates the diversity of the region's produce.

Continually pushing the envelope, the winery is proud to be fully organic, ensuring that their winemaking methods are not only beneficial for the environment but also contribute to the production of unique, expressive wines.
