Vinya Le Havre 2016 Penedes Jean Leon (6x75cl)

Many wines have a story to tell, but very few tell one as incredible as the story of Jean Leon

From stowaway to legendary winemaker - Jean Leon had a colourful life but his meteoric rise to fame was done no harm by his skills in the hospitality industry and through that, forming a very close friendship with James Dean in the 1950s.

His wines sometimes include the number 3055 on the label (not this one) and that is a reference to Jean's Licence Plate when he drove a Taxi to make ends meet. 

This wine at 14.5% was big and rounded and there was an instant recognition that it was a 'Sofia Wine'. (my wife)

Exceptional value at ony £19 per bottle...
