The winegrowing area where we are located is a privileged environment. A mountainous area where the vineyards are located around 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by forests and only 60km from the Mediterranean Sea. This creates a unique microclimate in the Southeast of Spain. A cool and pleasant microclimate, but with accentuated thermal oscillations for the good ripening of the Monastrell.
In addition, the annual rainfall is slightly more abundant than in neighbouring areas, which together with the above, make Monastrell wines more subtle.
The vineyards are located in two small valleys. They are composed of 3 small plots of Monastrell and a small plot of Syrah. Each of these vineyards has a different soil and a different orientation which means that each vineyard produces a different wine.
WINE IS MADE
ON THE GROUND
The philosophy of the winery is a clear commitment to the Monastrell variety to reflect an area, a place and a landscape in a bottle. This can only be achieved through high quality wines, as natural as possible and an immense respect in the cultivation of each vineyard.
Monastrell is the best adapted native variety and best represents the Mediterranean character. Historically, Monastrell has produced wines that are difficult, hard, edgy and not very drinkable. This is mainly due to the difficulty of growing it in such an austere area as the southeast of Spain. However, today, our work in viticulture is giving us a new dimension of a Monastrell that is elegant, powerful but at the same time subtle and easy to drink. In short, unique wines with character.
“Las más altas prestaciones
sin perder la esencia”
THIS IS WERE OUR
WINE IS MADE
Our winery was designed with our philosophy and our vineyards in mind. In order to respect the grapes to the maximum, the whole winemaking process is gravity fed. In order to get the best out of the vineyard, the soil and the variety, we process the wine in small tanks and open barrels in the most natural way possible, without additives, without yeasts and without corrections.
The wine is aged both in 500-litre French oak barrels and in large-volume vats. There is no mathematical rule for the amount of time each wine stays in its aging container, since each year is different and we like to give each wine the time it needs, whether that be in barrel or in vat.
Currently, the winery produces around 25,000 bottles of wine annually, depending on each vintage.

our history
Jorge Piernas Bodegas y Viñedos was born from the respect and deep love that Juan Piernas instilled in his family for wine. Since 1940, the family has been involved in the world of wine, but since 2015, his grandson, Jorge Piernas, is the one who assumes the weight of labeling the illusion of a family and the effort of two generations preparing and training to offer that value that Juan Piernas dreamed of.
Nuestra bodega ha recibido una ayuda para la participación en la Feria de prowein 2023, celebrada del 19 al 21 de Marzo de 2023. Y ha contado con el apoyo de INFO, Instituto de Fomento de la Región de Murcia así como la cofinanciación de los fondos europeos FEDER
Para la mejora de la calidad de los vinos de la variedad Monastrell mediante su afinamiento y crianza en bodega hemos realizado una inversión con la adquisición de depósitos de cemento, consistente en un gasto total de 21.299,28€ con una ayuda de 8.519,71€ (40%) de la inversión, financiada esta ayuda en un 63% por el FEADER y el 37% por la CARM
