Tasting Notes
The wine has a medium-intensity color with cherry-red highlights. On the nose, there are marked aromas of cedar and blackcurrant, with moderate intensity, but without being dominated by fruit. On the palate, the aromatic profile faithfully reflects the nose. This is an elegant, delicately textured interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon, refined, with luscious fruit, harmony and controlled balance. After six years of ageing, it begins to reveal its full potential and complexity.

Terroir
Located in the heart of the Penedès region, in the Turons de Vilafranca sub-zone and bordered by the River Foix and its tributary, the Riera de Llitrà, the 29-hectare vineyard extends over ten plots spread over two heights. The lower level has silty soils, while the upper level is dominated by marl. Planted in the 1970s, old Cabernet vines have thrived in the region, producing balanced wines shaped by the Mediterranean climate. Today, Mas La Plana is a dynamic ecosystem, thanks to regenerative viticulture practices. This innovative approach restores soil fertility, prevents erosion, promotes biodiversity and improves the vineyard's ability to capture atmospheric CO2, thus helping to combat climate change.
