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.

Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG 75cl,15.5%
Ca’ Florian is the heart of Tommasi, our oldest vineyards, and the intimate and coveted place that we have called home since 1902. There could be no better place to honor our humble beginnings and no better way to do it than by dedicating this single-vineyard to our top Amarone Riserva. Just next door to the house where our grandfather Giacomo settled, are the family’s first vineyards. Here, we have preserved every living memory of tradition, from the “marogne” dry-stone wall terraced vineyards with the pergola veronese trellising, to the withering of the grapes on the “arele”, the handmade bamboo racks. Each vintage counting less than 9,000 bottles, conveys the core values of timeless simplicity and elegance in our winemaking. Forget it in the cellar for an unforgettable moment in a decade or two.

Tio Pepe Sherry Fino 15% 1L
Tío Pepe, produced by González Byass in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), is one of the most famous and acclaimed sherries in the world.
This 100 percent sherry is made from Palomino grapes planted at a 600 acre estate on the outskirts Jerez, in the “Jerez Superior” area.
The harvest is carried out manually and the grapes are transported in 15-kg boxes to prevent them from breaking and beginning fermentation prematurely.
The grapes are gently crushed to obtain the first pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The must obtains 12-13% alcohol content, and will later be used as a “vino fino” (refined wine) or Oloroso sherry.
Wine that is selected to become part of the “criadera” of Tío Pepe is fortified with wine alcohol up to 15% ABV, becoming a “Sobretabla Fino” that will age one more year in American oak casks before becoming part of the “Criaderas y Solera” range, a denomination it will keep for at least five years.
