Castillo de Montblanc Conca de Barberà Concavins 1994
The 1994 Castillo de Montblanc is a dry red wine produced by Bodegas Concavins, S.A., under the Denominación de Origen classification. The wine was crafted by Hugh Ryman and his team at the modern Concavins Bodega, located in the Conca de Barberà region of northeastern Spain.
Conca de Barberà is situated in the northern part of the Tarragona province in Catalonia. The appellation's name translates to a basin or valley, accurately describing its geography, which is shaped by the Francolí and Anguera rivers and naturally protected by the Prades mountains. The vineyards for this wine are located high up in the mountains, typically at altitudes between 350 and 900 meters above sea level. This elevation creates a relatively cool microclimate within a transitional zone between Mediterranean and continental influences. The resulting hot, dry summers and cold winters, combined with significant temperature shifts between day and night, provide optimal conditions for the vines. The soils in this area are predominantly calcareous and clay, with some river terraces and slate found in the western part of the appellation. Tarragona itself has a rich winemaking tradition dating back to the Roman era, and Conca de Barberà is historically noted for its medieval monastic wine production and impressive modernist cooperative buildings known as wine cathedrals.
This wine is a blend centered around the prominent Spanish grape Tempranillo, supported by Cabernet and Merlot. Tempranillo is a cornerstone of Spanish viticulture, widely cultivated in regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero. The inclusion of Cabernet—a term often used to encompass the globally adaptable Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—and Merlot, a classic dark-skinned variety frequently found in Bordeaux and Northern Italy, complements the local Tempranillo.
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.
