Aroma
Full and rich with vanilla and spice
Description
The signature Piqueras Black Label is produced in the region of Almansa, located on high slopes in southeast Spain. Dry and calcareous soil, scarce rain and long periods of sunshine produce grapes with high concentration, deep colour and full of rich aromas. This rich red is made from 50% Monastrell and 50% Syrah and aged for 4-6 months in 300 litre fine grain oak barrels. Medium-bodied on the palate with flavours of ripe red cherries, raspberries, crushed boysenberries, red plums and a touch of vanilla spice on the nose. Lively and elegant with a silky finish. Enjoy on its own or with grilled, roasted or fried dishes, barbecues, charcuterie and richer cheeses.

About the Estate
Bodegas Piqueras is a fourth-generation estate, founded in 1915 in Almansa, southeastern Spain. Its dry, semi-desert climate is well suited to organic winemaking, with abundant sunshine, low disease pressure and cool nights that help preserve freshness. Head winemaker Juan Pablo Canto Serrano brings impressive experience, having trained with Vega Sicilia in Spain and later at Villa Maria Estate in New Zealand – influences that shaped his focus on fruit purity, freshness and careful protection from oxidation. The estate works with traditional Almansa grapes including Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell, with old bush vines, high-altitude vineyards and a strong focus on biodiversity, including sheep grazing and natural fertilisation. This low-intervention approach continues in the cellar, including wines made with no added sulphites and naturally minimal sulphur levels. Shop all Bodegas Piqueras here >>
