Castillo de Montblanc Conca de Barberà Concavins 1993
The 1993 Castillo de Montblanc is a Denominación de Origen red wine produced by Bodegas Concavins, S.A. Crafted by Hugh Ryman and his team at the modern Concavins Bodega, this wine originates from the Conca de Barberà area in northeastern Spain.
Conca de Barberà is an independent appellation situated within the broader Tarragona province in the southern part of Catalonia. Tarragona is a historical wine region with a tradition stretching back to the Roman era, when the city of Tarraco was a vital center for the wine trade. While the province generally features a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters, the specific vineyards for this wine are located high up in the mountains. This elevation provides a relatively cool microclimate, shifting towards more continental conditions with greater temperature variations between day and night. The soils in these mountainous inland areas are highly varied, often characterized by granite and slate.
Historically famous for its heavy, oxidized wines, the modern Tarragona region has shifted its focus towards dry wines utilizing both local and international grape varieties. This particular wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most renowned dark grapes, traditionally used for structured red wines and widely cultivated in areas like Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. It is blended here with Merlot, another classic dark grape frequently found in the same prominent global wine regions.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Tarragona
Tarragona is a historic wine region and province located in the southern part of Catalonia in northeastern Spain, with a coastline facing the Mediterranean Sea. Geographically, the area ranges widely from sunny coastal plains to rugged, mountainous landscapes inland. The province serves as an overall geographical origin for several of Spain's most recognized wine areas and contains independent appellations such as Conca de Barberà, Priorat, Montsant, Terra Alta, parts of Penedès, as well as its own specific appellation, DO Tarragona.
The climate in Tarragona is predominantly Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Moving further inland and up in altitude, the climate becomes more continental with greater temperature fluctuations between night and day. The soil is highly varied and depends on the specific subregion; near the coast and in the river valleys, limestone and alluvial deposits dominate, while the mountainous inland areas are known for granite and slate-containing soils.
The wine tradition in Tarragona stretches back to Roman times, when the city of Tarraco was an important center for wine trade. Historically, the region was especially famous for its powerful, sweet, and oxidized wines. In modern times, wine production has undergone a significant development, and today there is a high degree of focus on the production of dry red, white, and rosé wines. The production is based on both local grape varieties such as Garnacha, Cariñena, and Macabeo, as well as international varieties that have gained a foothold in the region's vineyards.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
