About Jean Leon Xarel·lo

"A Man. A Time. A Wine". Few phrases encapsulate so precisely an unrepeatable existence. Behind the name Jean Leon lies the story of Ceferino Carrión, a young man who fled the drabness of post-war Spain as a stowaway on a ship to the United States, worked as a waiter in Hollywood, won the friendship of stars like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, and ended up founding the most coveted restaurant in Los Angeles. However, his greatest ambition was not to serve the legends of cinema, but to create a wine bearing his own name. That dream led him back to Europe to settle in the Penedès, where he planted vines with the conviction of those unafraid to challenge destiny. The Jean Leon Nativa range, illustrated with traditional Catalan tiles, pays homage to the land that embraced his ambition. In this context, the Wind Rose on the label of this single-varietal symbolises the steadfast course of a man who knew how to find his place in the world.

From Torrelavit, in the heart of the DO Penedès, Jean Leon Xarel·lo pays tribute to the typicity of the Catalan landscape. The wine hails from selected plots located at an average altitude of 225 metres above sea level. The vines thrive on clay-limestone soils, poor in organic matter but with an excellent capacity for retaining water and minerals, which impart a fresh and structured profile to the fruit. The climate is purely Mediterranean, characterised by mild winters, warm summers, and a marked influence of the sea breeze that moderates temperatures during the ripening period. The variety used is xarel·lo at 100%, the quintessential white grape of the region, cultivated under a strict organic farming certification that respects biodiversity and the natural life of the soil.

For the production of Jean Leon Xarel·lo, the winery employs a meticulous process that prioritises the preservation of the fruit character. Harvesting is carried out manually at the optimal moment of ripeness. Once at the winery, the grapes undergo gentle pressing to obtain only the highest quality must. The alcoholic fermentation, the process in which yeast converts the grape sugars into alcohol and aromas, takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15 degrees for about 12 days. Subsequently, the wine undergoes ageing on fine lees for 4 months, a process of contact with inactive yeast that imparts volume, creaminess, and smoothness on the palate, before proceeding to final filtration and bottling.

Jean Leon Xarel·lo is a fresh, citrusy, and profoundly elegant white wine, where the aromas of white fruit and Mediterranean nuances are expressed with complete freedom. A sincere and vibrant sip that connects the audacity of an extraordinary man with the richness of a historic land.
