Winemaker Notes

The most pristine bunches of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon are hand selected to craft Torres’ most prestigious red wine. A 1979 blind tasting in Paris, the Gault-Millau Wine Olympics, placed some of the world’s most respected wines such as Châteaux Latour against newcomers including Torres. The wine from Mas la Plana vineyard triumphed, placing first, and deserved recognition, putting Penedès on the map as benchmark quality for the best red wines in the world.

Professional Ratings

95James Suckling
Excellent freshness and intensity of meaty blue fruit here with currants, blackberries, dark plums, peppercorns and chocolate, with dark earth and some spearmint. Crushed stone minerality on the palate, with fantastic freshness. Full-bodied, tight, caressing and perfectly ripe tannins. Already delicious, but will age beautifully. Cabernet sauvignon. Mas La Plana has become more refined and precise. Drink or hold.
94Vinous

A cuvée produced since 1970, the 2019 Mas La Plana is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Penedès. Aged 18 months in oak barrels and (61% new) with only 4% remaining in steel tanks, this wine presents a garnet hue with a purple sheen. The aromas feature cassis, tobacco and licorice, along with ripe cherry and orange petit four. Dry, rich and indulgent, it flows with intensity, eventually becoming compact due to its chalky mouthfeel.

93Wine Spectator
An enticing red, exuding fragrant sandalwood and star anise notes, this is plush on the palate, offering generous flavors of black plum reduction, baked bitter cherry, tea leaves and a subtle base note of fresh earth. Defined by sculpted, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, this is seamlessly knit and harmonious. Drink now through 2034. 6,262 cases made, 450 cases imported.
