A varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, Mas La Plana is a truly iconic Spanish red wine produced by Bodegas Torres.
The legend was born when, in the 1979 wine contest «Les Olympiades du Vin» organized by the «Gault-Millau» magazine, the 1970 vintage of this red wine from Penedès, which then bore the name «Torres Gran Coronas Etiqueta Negra», defeated in a blind tasting wines such as Château Latour 1970, Château Pichon-Lalande 1964, and the monumental Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1961.
Produced from four different plots situated in DO Penedès, the grapes were harvested by hand and macerated for 20 days. Then they were fermented under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.
After that, Mas La Plana 2017 was aged for 18 months in mostly new French oak barrels. It was bottled in September 2019.
Needless to say, this Crianza red wine will improve considerably over the next years.
Aerate at least 1 hour before drinking.
