✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted by the legendary Familia Torres, Mas Rabell Tinto is deeply rooted in Catalan history, taking its name from the historic 14th-century farmhouse (masia) of Mas Rabell, nestled in the rolling hills of the Penedès region. Historically used by the Torres family as a private retreat for gastronomy and wine trials, this estate represents the soul of traditional Catalan hospitality. The wine is typically a classic blend of Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan), traditional varieties that thrive in the sun-drenched, Mediterranean-influenced vineyards of Catalunya. It is fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly in oak barrels to preserve its lively red fruit character while adding a touch of spice and structure. The result is an approachable, smooth, and expressive red that captures the warmth and rustic elegance of its historic homeland.
