ABOUT THE WINE
Bodegas La Purísima, a storied cooperative winery founded in 1946 in the heart of Yecla DO—southeastern Spain's smallest and northernmost appellation in Murcia—manages over 60% of the region's vineyards, drawing from a network of more than 400 members. Known for its commitment to Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and innovative blends, the estate sources grapes from ancient, low-yielding vines exceeding 35 years old, planted in sandy-limestone soils on bush vines (en vaso).
The 2020 vintage, a stellar year of balanced ripeness amid dry, warm conditions, yields a bold yet refined expression of old-vine intensity. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, it showcases the bodega's mastery in blending tradition with modern elegance.
TASTING NOTE:
Deep garnet with violet hues. Ripe black cherry, plum, and blueberry, laced with Mediterranean garrigue (thyme, rosemary), dark chocolate, and subtle vanilla from oak. Full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins, juicy black fruit core, spicy black pepper, and balsamic undertones. Bright acidity ensures a long, elegant finish. Perfect with roast lamb, tapas, or hard cheeses like Manchego.
