Interesting facts
The exquisite, aromatic white wine Piqueras, "Wild Fermented" Verdejo is made from organic Verdejo grapes harvested from the coldest high-altitude vineyards. The harvest is picked at night, starting in mid-September, selecting the best small clusters at optimal ripeness. Vinification occurs with natural yeasts in selected 300-liter fine-grained French oak barrels of medium toast. After 2 months, it is racked into small stainless steel tanks and left on fine lees for another 6 months. The Piqueras, "Wild Fermented" Verdejo has been awarded several prestigious accolades: the 2018 vintage won silver at the "Singapore Awards" (2019); the 2017 vintage won bronze at the "Decanter World Wine Awards" (2018).
About the Manufacturer
The Piqueras winery was founded in 1915 by the Piqueras family. It is located in the Almansa region in southeastern Spain, 60 km from Alicante and the Mediterranean Sea. This wine region is characterized by low yields due to low rainfall. The semi-arid continental climate allows for wines with rich color and aroma. Wines are typically produced from local grape varieties — Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell. In 1972, the "Castillo de Almansa" brand was launched. In 2001, the winery acquired the Finca los Timonares vineyard. In 2003, a new 7000 sq.m. facility was opened with a production capacity of 3,000,000 liters of wine. Since 2010, the company has been managed by Pablo and Javier, the fourth generation of the Piqueras family. The main goal of the winery is to produce high-quality wines that are represented in markets in over 40 countries worldwide.
