This ruby-coloured, spicy and juicy wine is the product of the Tempranillo, Monastrell, and Garnacha varieties combined. Its taste contains a rare touch of high quality wood from maturing in American oak for 18 months. Excellent value for money. Founded in 1915 Bodegas Piqueras has established Almensa as a Denominacion de Origin in 1975 and has been exporting wines since 1987. Today it owns or manages over 500 hectares of vines that it uses to produce its range of wines at its modern purpose built cellars. (12 x 75 cl)

Young vibrant fruity blend of Garnacha and Tinto Vera with bags of juicy mulberry fruit and some zingy acidity for early drinking. (12 x 75 cl)

Traditional Spanish wine makers, Bodegas Piqueras, DO Almansa lay 100km inland from Valencia and Alicante, east of Albacete. The soil is basically calcareous with the climate extremely continental, cold winters and hot summers are ideal for the cultivation of the Tempranillo and Monastrol grapes. Bodegas Piqueras was founded in 1915 and winemaker Juan Pablo Bonete now limits production to ensure eminent wines of distinction. The 1996 Castillo de Almansa is possibly our best selling oak-aged red wine, and understandably so. Offering all the style, weight and class of a Rioja Reserva but at a considerable saving due it laying outside the Rioja labelling. This wine is a Rioja Reserva in all but name... and price!
