Torres Mas la Plana 75cl,14.5%
Located in the heart of the Penedès, in the Turons de Vilafranca sub-region, and bordered by the Foix River and the Llitrà stream, the 29-hectare vineyard is spread over ten plots and two levels, with clayey soils in the lower reaches and predominantly marl in the upper reaches. Here, the old Cabernet vines, planted in the 1960s, have taken root well and produce balanced wines, also influenced by the Mediterranean climate. Mas La Plana is now a vibrant natural ecosystem thanks to regenerative viticulture, which aims to restore the soil’s natural fertility, prevent erosion, and promote biodiversity, while increasing the vineyard’s capacity to absorb atmospheric CO2, thus contributing to the fight against climate change.
With 2,700 years of winemaking history behind it, making it the oldest wine-growing region in Catalonia, the Penedès DO is wide and open, stretching across a stretch of land between the sea and the mountains, halfway between Barcelona and Tarragona. The influence of the Mediterranean sun and sea makes the Penedès a privileged territory for grape growing. This uniqueness gives rise to the diversity of Penedès DO wines. A thousand flavors and aromas are the result of the differences in climate, landscape, and soil.
THE LEGEND DRESSED IN BLACK
The fruit of Miguel A. Torres’ vision and determination, Mas La Plana burst onto the international scene in 1979 when, with its first 1970 vintage, it defeated the world’s leading Cabernets at the Gault & Millau Wine Olympics, held in Paris. Thus was born the legend of a wine that represented a paradigm shift at the time and set the course for producing superior wines from our own vineyards. Over time, it has evolved to reach its peak of expression today, thanks to the strong roots and balance of the old Cabernet vines.

Finally, the presence of the Mistral wind throughout the year constitutes a powerful ally for the cultivation of the vines.

Partially destemmed grapes are fermented by plot (10 to 15% whole bunches in some vats) and fermented at controlled temperature in concrete tulip vats. Gentle extraction with light pumping over and punching down. Hot post-fermentation maceration lasting up to two weeks. Blended after malolactic fermentation, aged in barrels (20%) and foudres (30%) for 12 months, then 6 months in concrete vats
Pangea Syrah 75cl, 14.5%
La Roblería Vineyard, Colchagua Valley Syrah 100%
Winemaker’s Comments
Pangea is a well-rounded, distinguished wine with an intense, dark color. It has delicious, complex aromas which come through in the mouth with soft notes of red and blueberries, harmoniously intermingled with spices like black pepper, dark chocolate and subtle notes of vanilla and caramel. This wine has an exceptional combination of concentration, flavors and aromas. Pangea is at essence a Syrah from the Apalta Valley that faithfully expresses its terroir of granitic soils with high quartz content, properties that are reflected in every glass. This is a well-structured wine with plenty of acidity and ripe, firm tannins. We recommend decanting it prior to drinking.
With grapes from a selection of soils in Apalta and a special fermentation, we have achieved a full-bodied, concentrated wine. 18 months in French oak barrels and one year in the bottle have brought balance and roundness to the wine and concentrated the purity and elegance of the fruit.
