Penedès DO Mas La Plana 2019 Torres

Mas La Plana is an iconic red wine produced by Familia Torres in the Alt Penedès region, Catalonia. It is made exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the historical vineyards of Mas La Plana, a 29-hectare estate located at an altitude of 225 meters, with well-drained alluvial soils composed of alternating layers of gravel, sand, and clay.

The winemaking process involves fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and large oak foudres, followed by maceration on the skins for 15-25 days. Aging takes place for about 18 months mainly in French oak barriques, partly new, with a small percentage in foudres and stainless steel tanks. The approach aims to enhance the expressiveness of Cabernet Sauvignon while maintaining a balance between structure, fruit, and freshness.

In appearance, it shows a deep ruby red color. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruits, spicy notes, balsamic hints, and toasted wood accents. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with mature and velvety tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a long and persistent finish that highlights elegance and depth.

It is ideal to pair with grilled red meat dishes, significant roasts, or aged cheeses.
