Jean Leon Nativa Xarel·lo 2022
Ecológico
This varietal Spanish white wine of Bodegas Jean Leon is one of the bottlings of a product series that pays tribute to the native varieties of Penedès. Made solely from Xarel·lo, Jean Leon Nativa Xarel·lo is the first wine of the collection.
The grapes were picked by hand and carefully harvested. Then they were fully destemmed, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 12 days at a controlled temperature. Finally, Jean Leon Nativa Xarel·lo 2022 was bottled.
Smooth and elegant, the label of this organic white wine reproduces the motif of a traditional Catalan hydraulic cement tile.
