Diego de Almagro Valdepeñas Reserva 1993
The Diego de Almagro Reserva is a red wine produced by Felix Solis from the 1993 vintage. It originates from the Valdepeñas Denominación de Origen, located in the Castilla-La Mancha region of central Spain. As a Reserva classification, the wine has undergone a specific production method, which includes aging for one year in American oak barrels.
Situated in the province of Ciudad Real, approximately 200 kilometers south of Madrid, Valdepeñas is one of Spain's most historically significant wine regions, with a documented viticultural history dating back to Roman times. It was granted DO status in 1932, making it one of the country's earliest recognized appellations. The area is situated on a high plateau at an altitude of 700 meters, which helps moderate its distinctively continental climate. The vines endure very hot, dry summers with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius, cold winters, and significant diurnal temperature variations alongside low rainfall.
The vineyards in Valdepeñas are primarily planted on red calcareous soils with a high calcium content. These well-draining soils are highly favorable for viticulture and contribute to the area's reputation for producing both volume and quality. While the region cultivates several grape varieties, the red wines are predominantly based on Tempranillo, known locally as Cencibel, which is often supplemented by other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Garnacha, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Castilla-La Mancha
Castilla-La Mancha is a vast Spanish wine region located on the Iberian plateau in the central and southeastern part of the country. With its enormous area, the region constitutes Europe's largest continuous wine area and is often referred to as the world's largest vineyard. The landscape is characterized by large, flat plains that stretch from Madrid in the north down towards the mountain ranges at Valdepeñas in the south.
The climate in Castilla-La Mancha is extremely continental. The region experiences very hot, dry summers, where temperatures can exceed 40 degrees, and correspondingly harsh, cold winters with frost. The large temperature difference between night and day as well as the very limited rainfall create harsh conditions for viticulture, which has traditionally required the vines to be planted far apart to utilize the sparse moisture in the soil.
Historically, Castilla-La Mancha has been known for large-scale production of wine and distillation of grape spirit, especially based on the widespread white grape Airén. Over the recent decades, however, the region has undergone a significant modernization with an increased focus on quality wines and modern production techniques. The local variant of Tempranillo, known as Cencibel, plays a main role in the production of the region's red wines, and the area contains several recognized appellations such as DO Valdepeñas.
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.
