Chateldon Muntanyan's Alt Penedès Reserva 1987
The 1987 Chateldon Muntanyans Reserva is a red wine produced by Bodegas Pinord. This Denominació d'Origen Reserva originates from the producer's own vineyards surrounding the Muntanyans Hermitage in Spain.
The estate is located in Alt Penedès, the highest of the three sub-regions within the Penedès appellation, situated at an altitude of 600 to 800 meters. Penedès lies southwest of Barcelona in Catalonia, nestled between the coastal mountains. The area features a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters, where the vines grow in soils composed primarily of chalk, sand, and clay. Penedès is historically renowned as the birthplace of Cava and a pioneer in modern Spanish wine culture, often recognized for its commitment to organic and biodynamic cultivation.
This wine is crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most recognized blue grapes, frequently grown in regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. It is complemented by Merlot, another classic blue grape widely planted in Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy. Following the harvest from the Muntanyans estate, the wine is fermented in oak casks before undergoing a period of bottle aging.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Penedès
Penedès lies south-west of Barcelona in Catalonia between the coastal mountains and is the most important wine region in Catalonia and the historic home of Cava, Spain's traditional-method sparkling wine. The area gained DO status and contains around 18,000 hectares spread across three altitude regions: Bajo Penedès (coastal), Medio Penedès (the largest, home to major Cava producers such as Freixenet and Codorníu) and Alto/Superior Penedès, which lies 600-800 metres high and favours aromatic white wines.
The climate is Mediterranean with warm summers and mild winters, and the soils consist mainly of limestone, sand and clay. About 90 percent of the plantings are white grapes, primarily the three classic Cava grapes Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as well as international red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The style ranges from fresh, sparkling Cavas with citrus, apple, bread and almond, through aromatic dry whites, to structured reds with ripe dark berries, spices and soft tannins. The area is known as the birthplace of Cava and a pioneer of modern Spanish wine culture, often with a commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture.
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.
