Mas La Plana is a red wine from the D.O. Penedès made by Torres. Mas La Plana was one of the pioneer wines, along with Jean Leon, in introducing the Cabernet Sauvignon variety in Spain.
In 1979, Mas La Plana achieved first place in the Gault Millau Olympiade du Vin in Paris, at that time, the most prestigious competition at the time. It managed to rise above the famous French chateaux and, as a consequence, received many international awards, becoming the flagship wine of Torres. The high quality image that has always been associated with the winery is, in large part, thanks to Mas La Plana.
This wine is a single varietal of the most select Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a small 29 hectare vineyard. It is aged for 18 months in French oak and, finally, 9 months in the bottle.
CATA'S NOTES.
In the mouth it is elegant, with volume, broad. Juicy tannins that add both bitterness and astringency, as well as complexity to the flavor.
Dark cherry color with purple edges.
Intense aroma with a typical expression of the Mas La Plana terroir such as blueberries or cherries. Notes of truffle and memories of aging also appear.
