Our winery is family owned and this is the fourth generation of the Piqueras family to have overseen the property since it was established in 1915. The Piqueras winery is in Almansa, in south-east Spain, some 40 miles from Alicante and the Mediterranean Sea.
Our vineyards are in a winegrowing area of the Almansa D.O. characterized by its low fertility and low rainfall which, together with the semi-arid climate, combine to create the ideal conditions to produce richly aromatic wines of intense colour.
​
In Bodegas Piqueras we bring passion to our winemaking. But we also take quality very seriously at every step of the winemaking process, and so we keep a close eye on everything. We have grown a lot in recent decades, but we pay the same attention to detail that we always have, without losing sight of the mystique of winemaking that it takes a good winemaker to understand.
We believe that a good wine is born in the vineyard, which is why we carry out meticulous plant selection, careful pruning, monitoring of vine health and overall quality control.

We have state of the art equipment and technology to help with grape picking, pressing, filtration, bottling and labelling, but to really listen to the wine, to sense its development, to create the perfect blend from each vintage, you can’t rely on automated procedures. We have to be right there on the spot, alert in body and mind, to choose the precise moment to harvest the grapes and make the wine, and to achieve this requires patience, being there, knowledge and a whole lot of passion.

For over a hundred years we have been making wine that is true to our family and its values. Our wines, to which each of the four succeeding generations has brought its own improvements, conveys the essence of our land and our people, while being at the same time modern, elegant and expressive.
