Deep, confident Cabernet fruit leads the 2017 Mas La Plana with blackcurrant, plum and a touch of herbs and tobacco, all wrapped in polished oak spice. The palate feels precise and vibrant rather than heavy, with bright acidity and firmly woven tannins that promise even greater harmony after a few more years in bottle.

Mas La Plana is Familia Torres’s flagship, single‑vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the DO Penedès in Catalonia, a “legend in black” born in 1970 that famously beat top Bordeaux at the 1979 Gault & Millau Wine Olympics. Sourced from old Cabernet vines on the Mas La Plana estate in Turons de Vilafranca and crafted with a focus on regenerative viticulture, it typically offers concentrated dark fruit, tobacco and spice framed by refined tannins and careful French oak aging, showcasing a uniquely Mediterranean expression of Cabernet.
