WHO CAN CONTRACT
PIQUERAS WINERY
4th generation family-owned winery founded in 1915 by the Piqueras family. The Piqueras Winery is located in Almansa, in the south east of Spain, 60 km from Alicante and the Mediterranean Sea.
The own vineyards are located in a wine production area of the D.O. Almansa is characterized by a land of low fertility and low rainfall that, together with a semi-arid continental climate, allows us to obtain wines with a high concentration of color and great aromatic richness.
Since the winery was founded by great-grandfather Luis in 1915, it has maintained the character of family ownership. History and tradition are reflected in the way the vineyards are cultivated, and quality wines are made for bottling and export to more than 45 countries.

Winemaking: Tempranillo grapes are harvested the second week of September, Garnacha Tintorera and Syrah grapes at the end of September and Monastrell grapes the third week of October. The grapes for this wine are selected from the best plots of various farms, manual harvesting to achieve a higher concentration of tannins at the optimum moment of phenolic maturation for each variety.
