Mas La Plana is a red wine from the D.O. Penedès made by Torres.

Mas La Plana was one of the pioneering wines, together with Jean Leon, in introducing the Cabernet Sauvignon variety in Spain. Mas La Plana won first place in the Gault Millau Olympiade du Vin in Paris in 1979, at that time the most prestigious competition at the time.

It managed to rise above the famous French chateaux and, as a consequence, received many international awards, becoming Torres' flagship wine. The high-quality image that has always been associated with the winery is largely thanks to Mas La Plana. This wine is a monovarietal of the most select Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a small 29-hectare vineyard. It is aged for 18 months in French oak and, finally, 9 months in the bottle.
