SKU: SPW025210

‘Le Havre’ single vineyard is an historical plot, the 1st Cabernet Sauvignon ever planted in Spain, all the way back to 1968. That was the dream of Angel Ceferino Carrion Madrazo (who later changed his name to Jean Leon), who made fortune after moving from its native Spain to the US in 1949 (from the French port of Le Havre, which gave its name to the vineyard), 1st to New-York where he was a taxi driver, then to Los Angeles. There, after a few different jobs, he opened ‘La Scala’ Restaurant in 1956, who quickly become an iconic place amongst the elite. In early 1960s, missing his our town, and desiring to showcase their wines, he setup his own winery in a remote location in the heart of Catalunya, in a region which will become later the ‘Penedes’ DOC appellation.

Le Havre is a block of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small part of Cabernet Franc. The vines are organically-grown, handpicked and aged in French & American oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, followed by a minimum of 2 years bottle ageing in the estate. The wines showcase great purity and exceptional ageing potential.

A blend of the Bordeaux varieties par excellence, with an elegant nose, toasted notes and hints of spices imparted by oak aging. Potent upon entry, it unfolds across the palate to display great length, good tannins, lush body and a long, lingering finish.   Dark ruby red core with a mature rim. Pure nose offering some mature notes, leather, cedar wood tobacco with ripe dark berries, cassis and cherry. The palate is dense and chewy, still a youthful texture, ripe dark fruit flavours a slight herbal spiciness, a dash of oak and good length. Still youthful with potential for ageing.
