Holding the Denominación de Origen (DO) classification, this Reserva reflects the viticultural traditions of its origin in southeastern Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine comes from Almansa, a region located in the Albacete province of Castilla-La Mancha. Functioning as a geographical transition zone between the high central plateau of La Mancha and the Mediterranean Sea, Almansa was granted its official DO status in 1966. The vineyards are situated on a flat plateau at altitudes ranging from 700 to 1,100 meters above sea level. The climate is continental with distinct Mediterranean influences, leading to extreme temperature fluctuations. Summers can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius, while winters bring frost down to minus 10 degrees. With a sparse annual rainfall of just 250 to 350 millimeters, the vines grow in a dry environment where the well-draining soil predominantly consists of limestone with low organic matter, alongside areas of sand and stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vintage is crafted from a blend of Tempranillo, Monastrell, and Garnacha. Tempranillo is a primary Spanish grape variety frequently cultivated in regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Monastrell, the Spanish name for Mourvèdre, is commonly found in areas like Jumilla, Yecla, and Alicante, while Garnacha, known internationally as Grenache, is widely planted across Spain, including Navarra and Aragón. During the production process, the wine was aged for 12 months in oak barrels before bottling, followed by an additional period of resting in the cellars of Bodegas Piqueras prior to its release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Piqueras, S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57365644706118,"sku":null,"price":1750.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1112_32e1d368-e2fe-45ac-b518-b3eea7b3b16a.jpg?v=1789375910","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.se\/en\/products\/almansa-castillo-de-almansa-2002","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
