A legend in black
Mas La Plana is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, first made by Miguel A. Torres, member of the fourth generation of Familia Torres in 1970. This exceptional wine gained global acclaim when the first vintage triumphed over the world’s finest Cabernets at the 1979 Wine Olympics in Paris. Sourced from the namesake historic vineyard in the heart of Penedès, Mas La Plana stands as testament to Familia Torres’ legacy and excellence. Thanks to the remarkable adaptation and balance of its old Cabernet Sauvignon vines, it has continued to evolve, reaching its fullest expression and solidifying its place as a benchmark in the world of fine wines.
The 2018 vintage of Mas La Plana has been praised by international wine writers. Luis Gutiérrez, Spanish critic for Robert Parker Wine Advocate, awarded it 93 points, describing it as “a very peppery and spicy, cool and varietal with a Mediterranean accent”. Wine Enthusiast bestowed an impressive 95 points, highlighting its remarkable balance and complexity, “Well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity offer a gorgeous backdrop for flavors of fruit and spice, with a touch of black olive paste.”
