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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConca 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Concavins, S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57302406955334,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1056_5606475d-92d7-418b-82e7-95d9d3372145.jpg?v=1788874826","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/conca-de-barbera-castillo-de-montblanc-1997","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
