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. Crafted by Hugh Ryman and his team at the modern Concavins Bodega, this wine originates from the Conca de Barberà appellation within the Tarragona province of northeastern Spain.
Tarragona is a historic wine region in southern Catalonia with a winemaking tradition dating back to the Roman era, when the city of Tarraco was a vital center for the wine trade. The province features a diverse geography, ranging from sunny Mediterranean coastal plains to rugged inland mountains. The vineyards for this specific wine are situated high up in the mountainous terrain of Conca de Barberà. This elevation provides a relatively cool microclimate with significant temperature variations between day and night, creating ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The inland soils are notably varied, often characterized by granite and slate.
The wine is a blend based on the prominent Spanish grape Tempranillo, supported by Cabernet and Merlot. Tempranillo is a principal grape in Spain, widely cultivated in renowned regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero, as well as internationally in places like California. The inclusion of Cabernet—a term often used on labels to encompass the globally adaptable Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—and the classic blue grape Merlot, both traditionally rooted in Bordeaux and cultivated worldwide, complements the local Spanish varietal.
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.
