2008 Familia Torres "Mas La Plana" Cabernet Sauvignon, Penedès, Spain

The most pristine bunches of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon are hand selected to craft Torres’ most prestigious red wine. A 1979 blind tasting in Paris, the Gault-Millau Wine Olympics, placed some of the world’s most respected wines such as Châteaux Latour against newcomers including Torres. The wine from Mas la Plana vineyard triumphed, placing first, and deserved recognition, putting Penedès on the map as benchmark quality for the best red wines in the world.

This single-vineyard wine has gained international acclaim for its depth, complexity, and ability to age gracefully. 2008 had a very dry winter, followed by abundant rainfalls in the spring. Generally speaking, summer temperatures were cooler and milder than usual. The cool weather contributed favorably to a slow, and consistent ripening, which is reflected in high-quality wines.
