ABOUT THE WINE

The 2013 Mas La Plana is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Familia Torres’ 29-hectare estate vineyard in Penedès. The vines were planted in the 1960s, and the 2013 vintage followed a cool, wet growing season with a dry finish to ripening. After hand harvesting, the grapes underwent 15 to 25 days of skin contact and temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 85% of them new.

The mature 2013 vintage brings together blackcurrant and wild red-berry fruit with notes of truffle, toast, cedar and spice. Broad and structured, it balances firm yet polished tannins with freshness and a long, savory finish. Pair with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, game and aged cheeses.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Familia Torres is one of Spain’s historic wine families, with a winemaking tradition dating to 1870. The family planted Cabernet Sauvignon in Penedès during the 1960s, an ambitious choice that led to Mas La Plana, its flagship red. The wine gained international recognition when the 1970 vintage won the 1979 Gault-Millau Wine Olympics in Paris, standing alongside and ahead of celebrated Bordeaux wines. Today the estate continues to combine regional tradition with research and a strong commitment to sustainability.
