Tasting Notes
The 2015 Mas La Plana showcases elegance and harmony, even with its prominent and structured tannins. Its vibrant, crisp acidity promises excellent aging potential. This refined red reveals subtle notes of Mediterranean character, with herbal bramble nuances, while staying true to its classic old-world Cabernet Sauvignon roots, featuring deep currant flavors and earthy undertones.
-
Vinification and Aging
The wine undergoes skin contact for 15 to 25 days and ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25-28°C over a 7-day period. It is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, with 85% being new oak.

Terroir
Located in the heart of Penedès, within the Turons de Vilafranca subzone and bordered by the Foix River and the Riera de Llitrà tributary, the 29-hectare vineyard spans ten plots across two elevations. The lower level features loamy soils, while the higher level is dominated by marlstone. Planted in the 1970s, the old Cabernet vines have thrived in the region, yielding balanced wines shaped by the Mediterranean climate. Today, Mas La Plana is a vibrant ecosystem, thanks to regenerative viticulture practices. This innovative approach restores soil fertility, prevents erosion, promotes biodiversity, and enhances the vineyard’s ability to capture atmospheric CO2, contributing to the fight against climate change.
