Castillo de Almansa Reserve
The vines for the Castillo de Almansa Reserva thrive on 45 to 65-year-old vines on nutrient-poor, calcareous, low-rainfall soils at altitudes of 750 to 900 meters.
After fermentation, the wine is stored for 12 months in American oak.
The Castillo de Almansa Reserva shows a ruby red with cherry-colored reflections. It offers complex aromas reminiscent of raspberries, plums, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, it is rich and of great depth, with a soft and long-lasting finish.

All in all very good - we will recommend you!
We have known the wine for 30 years and have previously bought it directly in Almansa during our trips to Spain! The qualities of Bodega Piqueras were always excellent, the bodega is a model in every respect! Unfortunately, we could not ...

Quick answers
How does the Castillo de Almansa Reserva taste?
Dry red wine with aromas of raspberry, plum, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, rich and profound, the finish is soft and long. The 12 months in American oak give it a subtle wood spice.
What does this wine pair best with?
It is a classic companion to lamb and beef, but works just as well with grilled, braised, and Iberian pork dishes. It also cuts a fine figure with Manchego or Serrano – ideal for an extensive tapas evening.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Best between 16 and 18 °C. Take it out of the cellar shortly before serving or take the wine out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before opening if it was stored there.
Is this a powerful wine or rather light?
With 14% vol. and old vines on barren high altitudes, it is full-bodied and complex – not a light everyday wine, but also not a cumbersome colossus. The tannins remain soft, the wine remains easily accessible despite its depth.
How do I store the wine after opening?
Well sealed and stored cool, it lasts for two to three days after opening. A vacuum sealer extends this a bit more. The aromas often only unfold in the glass after a few minutes of air.
The Bodega
Bodegas Piqueras – a name for consistency and passion. For generations, the 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 – a grape variety that shows its most beautiful side here.
The wines from Piqueras are not loud showmen. They tell their story quietly but insistently: dark berries, warm earth, a hint of vanilla. And beneath that, this depth that only arises when someone really knows what they are doing – with heart and soul.
Accessible, honest, with character. A true treasure.
