Castillo de Montblanc Tarragona Concavins S.A. 1993
The 1993 Castillo de Montblanc is a red wine produced by Bodegas Concavins, S.A., under the Denominación de Origen classification. The winemaking at this modern bodega was directed by Hugh Ryman and his team. The estate is situated in the Conca de Barberà area within the Tarragona province of Catalonia, located in northeastern Spain along the Mediterranean coast.
Tarragona stands as one of Spain's oldest wine regions, with a documented viticultural history dating back to the Roman era when the city of Tarraco served as a vital port for wine exports. The region officially received its DO status in 1932. While the broader Tarragona area experiences a Mediterranean climate along the coast that shifts to a more continental influence inland, the specific vineyards for this wine are located high up in the mountains. This elevation creates a relatively cool microclimate. The regional soils are diverse, ranging from alluvial sand and clay near the coast to calcareous earth and slate in the higher altitude zones.
The wine is crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is recognized globally as one of the most prominent dark grapes, frequently cultivated in renowned regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. It is complemented by Merlot, another classic dark grape that shares a similar global presence, being widely planted in Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy.
