Castillo de Olleria Valencia Reserva 1991
The Castillo de Olleria Reserva 1991 is a Spanish wine produced by Cherubino Valsangiacomo, S.A. This 1991 vintage holds the Denominación de Origen classification from Valencia, a prominent wine region located on the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain. Bottled at 12% alcohol by volume, the wine reflects the historical viticultural traditions of the area.
Valencia received its official DO status in 1932, making it one of Spain's oldest appellations. The region has a rich winemaking history dating back to the Neolithic period, and its status as a major port city has made it a vital center for Spanish wine exports for centuries. The climate along the coast is distinctly Mediterranean, characterized by warm summers and mild winters. Moving inland and to higher altitudes, the climate shifts to a more continental profile with greater temperature variations.
Vineyards in the region are planted at altitudes ranging from sea level up to over 1,000 meters. The soils vary but are generally dominated by limestone and clay, which help retain moisture during warmer periods. The appellation spans between 13,000 and 18,000 hectares and is geographically divided into four specific subzones: Valentino, Alto Turia, Moscatel de Valencia, and Clariano, each offering distinct microclimates and soil conditions.
While Valencia is historically renowned for its sweet dessert wines made from the Moscatel grape, the DO is also recognized for a broad and diverse production of red, white, and rosé wines. Red wines from the region are typically based on local varieties such as Monastrell, Bobal, Tempranillo, and Garnacha Tintorera, often cultivated alongside international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Valencia
Valencia is a Spanish DO on the Mediterranean coast in the eastern part of the country and covers around 13,000-18,000 hectares spread across four subzones: Valentino (the largest, central, with limestone soils), Alto Turia (at 700-1,100 metres altitude, white-wine oriented), Moscatel de Valencia (a warm zone for sweet Moscatel) and Clariano (to the south, red wines). The climate is distinctly Mediterranean along the coast and becomes more continental inland, where warm summers and cold winters dominate.
The area sits within a historic wine culture with roots reaching back to Neolithic times and today serves as Spain's most important export port for wine. The grapes include the characteristic white Merseguera, complemented by Macabeo, Moscatel de Alejandría, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as red varieties such as Bobal, Tempranillo, Monastrell, Garnacha Tintorera, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The style ranges widely from fresh dry whites with citrus, apple and herbs, through powerful Bobal reds with ripe dark berries, plum, spices and firm tannins, to the unctuous Moscatel dessert wines with honey, apricot, orange blossom and raisin. The area is known as home to sweet Moscatel wines, a significant Cava production from the neighbouring DO Utiel-Requena, and a growing range of quality wines from native grapes.
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.
