Bodegas Piqueras
Bodegas Piqueras founded in 1915 . Our first bottled wine was released in 1961. Under the protective cover of the recently created Denominación de Origin Almansa (regulatory body controlling wine production in the area - set up in 1975) , we were the first winery in the area to invest in oak barrels - buying a hundred, 300 litre oak casks.
A new era for our cellar began in 1987 when we started exporting our wines, and has led to enormous changes in the winery. In a relatively short time , we have established our brands in several world markets .
Today our wines can be found in 17 countries and exports represent 70 % of our bottled wine production.

Bodegas Piqueras Garnacha Tintorera Almansa Castillo de Almansa 2008
Snoothrank:
I'm drinking this in 2013 - 5 years after release. Shows about 5cm of light orange to cartoon brick red with a dark purple to black center. Fairly slow forming tears that are not stained and are evenly spaced with about 10-15cm distance apart. Not super aromatic - I had to shove my nose in - but smells like healthy red fruit with mild tartness a... Read More

Castillo de Almansa Reserva Do Almansa Bodegas Pisqueras
Snoothrank:
2006 and 2007 are both good years for this wine, if you like a full-bodied, smokey and oaky red that really fills your mouth. It's dark red/purple, with 14% alc/vol (and hence has a little heat, but not too much for the amount of alcohol) and stands well against strong flavours in foods. Read More

Bodegas Piqueras Monastrell Almansa Valcanto 2008

Very strong scent, starts out nice and fruity, not too tannic though. Mid-taste is somewhat watery and silky. Picks up on pepper tones in the after taste. Read More

Bodegas Piqueras Castillo de Almansa Reserva 6 2003
Snoothrank:
A fine reserva at this $12.99 price, after airing for 4 hours and lowering temperature back to 55 to 58 degrees, the wine has a silky texture, fresh fruit and moderate finish. It is lighter than some reds but heavier than a cheap Pinot.It's a consistent (never had a bad bottle) everyday sipper and definitely shows more character than flacid Chil... Read More
