Bodegas Piqueras – a name synonymous with consistency and passion. For generations, this family winery has dedicated itself to what makes the Almansa region in southeastern Spain so special: powerful red wines, shaped by hot summers, barren soils, and the Garnacha Tintorera grape – a variety that reveals its most beautiful side here. Piqueras wines aren't flashy showmen. They tell their story quietly, yet compellingly: dark berries, warm earth, a hint of vanilla. And beneath it all lies a depth that only arises when someone truly knows what they're doing – with heart and soul. Approachable, honest, full of character. A true treasure.

What our customers say
We have known the wine for 30 years and have previously bought it directly in Almansa during our trips to Spain! The quality of the Bodega Piqueras has always been excellent, the winery is a model in every respect! Unfortunately, we could not travel to Spain this year...... We have not tried the wine yet, this will only happen 2 months after delivery!
The el abuelo hits the connoisseur's taste exactly. On one hand, very velvety in taste with subtle fruit aromas of various berries. On the other hand, not too much residual sugar to become boring. Very much structure and backbone. I know why it has been one of my absolute favorite wines in the category up to 15 EUR for years.
Bodegas Piqueras —
Garnacha Tintorera from the heart of Almansa
Bodegas Piqueras is a family winery from Almansa, a DO in southeastern Spain where the climate knows no compromises: hot, dry summers, barren limestone soils, and an altitude of around 700 meters, which preserves a palpable freshness in the wines despite all the heat.
The focus is on Garnacha Tintorera — a grape variety often considered a blending partner elsewhere, but which finds its independent voice in Almansa. The wines from Piqueras show what this grape can do: dark berry fruit, warm earth, a hint of vanilla from wood aging, and beneath that, a structured depth that increases with a little patience in the glass.
The winery has been working in the region for generations — no trends, no reinvention, just consistent craftsmanship. The wines pair well with hearty meat dishes, aged Manchego, or a long evening with good conversation.
