Torres, Mas Plana Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018

Delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from a Mediterranean Climate

"Deep black-cherry to the eye, this Cabernet Sauvignon from Penedès has a bouquet of raspberry, violet talc and fennel pollen. Well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity offer a gorgeous backdrop for flavours of fruit and spice, with a touch of black olive paste."

STORY BEHIND THE WINE 

The Mas La Plana Estate is located in the heart of Penedès in the subzone of Turons de Vilafranca, comprising 29-hectares of vineyards. The old Cabernet vines, planted in the 1970s, have adapted well to the region and produce balanced wines influenced by the Mediterranean climate. This exceptional wine burst onto the international scene in 1979, with its first vintage from 1970, by beating the world’s greatest Cabernets in the Gault & Millau Wine Olympics held in Paris.
