Description
A new edition from Bodegas Piqueras, named so because it’s made from grapes grown on historic land that once housed a brick factory, where the local clay was also used to make the bricks. This old vine Syrah is harvested late, usually in mid-October, allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity and ripeness. It is aged for nine months in new French oak barrels, imparting spicy and toasted notes to the wine. Deep cherry in colour with soft tannins, this fantastic Syrah offers a balanced and powerful palate and is perfect for those who appreciate a classic, well-structured red with character and depth.
- Featured in The Times, Jane Macquitty, ‘The best organic wines to buy now’, “Unusual top-drawer Spanish syrah from La Mancha, bursting with bold, ripe, smoky, chocolatey spice.” (2022 vintage)
- Gold Medal, Mundus Vini 2024 (2021 vintage)
- Gold Medal, Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge 2022 (2019 vintage)
- Top Red, Bob Campbell MW’s Top Drops, May 2023, “Serious, stylish, well-made wine showing good varietal expression…” (2019 vintage)
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 >>
