2017 Jean Leon Cabernet Sauvignon Vinya La Scala

£49.00

This Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and artistic expression of one of Spain’s most iconic vineyards. From the visionary mind of Jean Leon, this single-estate wine tells a story that begins in Hollywood and ends in a glass filled with finesse, character and history.

Vinya La Scala is a certified ‘Vino de Finca Calificada’, a rare distinction recognising both the uniqueness of its 8-hectare vineyard and its exceptional ageing potential. Planted in 1963 and organically farmed since 2008, the site offers a precise microclimate for Cabernet Sauvignon to flourish. The 2017 vintage features label artwork by Gerard Sala, whose vivid colours evoke the natural beauty of Penedès. A wine for collectors and Cabernet purists alike.

Winemaking: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 24 months in French oak followed by a further 3 years in bottle before release. Harvested from organically farmed vines and vinified with minimal intervention.

Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy with dry-aged steak or roast duck, or serve alongside grilled aubergine and herbed polenta for a vegetarian pairing worthy of the wine’s stature.

Tasting Note: Deeply structured yet vibrant, with layered aromas of cassis, cigar box, and black cherry. The palate is full and elegant, offering fine tannins, cedar, and a long, savoury finish.

Origin: Penedès, Spain

Alcohol: 14.5%

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon

Jean Leon

It began with a dream that defied borders. Ceferino Carrión, a young man from Cantabria, reimagined himself as Jean Leon and carved out a life among Hollywood's elite. After founding LA’s famed La Scala restaurant in the 1950s - a haunt for film stars, artists and dreamers - his next ambition was to craft wines of the same calibre. In 1963, he planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in the heart of Penedès at a time when the region’s tradition leaned heavily on native grapes. It was an audacious move, and one that changed the future of Spanish wine.

Today, Jean Leon’s legacy is stewarded by the Torres family, with Mireia Torres leading the charge. The winery was a pioneer of single-varietal expressions and now boasts Spain’s first recognised single-vineyard Cabernet. With 65 hectares under organic cultivation and a relentless focus on quality and innovation, the estate continues to produce wines that feel deeply personal yet universally compelling. Every bottle is a tribute not just to place, but to personality.
