The most pristine bunches of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon are hand selected to craft Torres’ most prestigious red wine. A 1979 blind tasting in Paris, the Gault-Millau Wine Olympics, placed some of the world’s most respected wines such as Châteaux Latour against newcomers including Torres. The wine from Mas la Plana vineyard triumphed, placing first, and deserved recognition, putting Penedès on the map as benchmark quality for the best red wines in the world.

In 2013, half of the annual rainfall occurred in the spring. This made for a very rainy start to the vegetative cycle. Although summer fell within normal range, the ripening period was very dry. In terms of temperature, the vegetative cycle was cold, which generally resulted in a significant delay in grape maturation. Conditions changed toward the end of the cycle, with milder temperatures and very little rainfall in late summer, which allowed for complete ripening.
