This Penedès Cabernet is graceful and balanced, with herbaceous bramble, brooding currant and loamy earth. Firm tannins and bright, crunchy acidity give way to a polished palate and a long, savory finish.

Winemaking: The 2020 was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and oak foudres after 15–25 days of skin contact, then aged 18 months in French oak barriques and foudres, 67.5% new, and bottled in January 2023.
Vineyards and terroir: Fruit comes from the 29-hectare Mas La Plana estate in the Turons de Vilafranca subzone of Penedès, between the Foix River and Riera de Llitrà. Vines were planted from 1964 to 1979 on deep alluvial soils of gravel, sand and clay; the southeast-facing vineyard sits at about 225 meters.
Family and history: Familia Torres founded its first winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870. The first vintage of this wine was 1970, under the name Gran Coronas Etiqueta Negra. It gained international recognition after winning the 1979 Gault-Millau Wine Olympics in Paris. Since 1978, Mas La Plana has been 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
