Having pioneered winemaking in Almansa for more than 100 years, in 2017, Piqueras acquired a 280 hectare estate, Finca El Vinculo, located around the natural environment of Almansa’s dam. Certified as ‘Organic’ amongst almond and olive trees and a Mediterranean low forest, these vineyards have the perfect characteristics, high altitude (750-850m), scarce rainfall and nutrient poor, limestone rich
soils, for the cultivation of Organic grapes.
