ABOUT THIS WINE
This is wine from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from old vines planted in the 1960s and 1970s within the Penedès region of Spain (Pacs del Penedès and Turons de Vilafranca subzone). Grapes were hand-harvested in mid-to-late October (starting around October 17) following a cool, wet growing cycle that finished with a dry ripening period. Extended skin contact and maceration lasting 15 to 25 days extracted the wine's deep color, structure, and complex phenolics. Alcoholic Fermentation was conducted in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures ranging from 25°C to 28°C, lasting for 7 days. The wine was the aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (with 85% new oak). It was bottled in August 2015 with an alcohol content of 14.5% ABV, a pH of 3.47, and a total acidity of 5.5 g/L.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Familia Torres is one of Spain’s most historic and internationally respected wine families, with a winemaking tradition dating back to 1870. Pioneers in bringing noble French varieties to Spain, they first planted Cabernet Sauvignon in Penedès in the 1960s—an audacious move at the time that culminated in the creation of Mas La Plana. The wine famously gained global recognition in 1979 when it triumphed over top Bordeaux in the Gault & Millau Wine Olympics. Committed to sustainability, innovation, and climate resilience, the Torres family combines deep reverence for tradition with forward-thinking viticulture and environmental stewardship. Mas La Plana remains their flagship red: a powerful, age-worthy expression of site and varietal.
