New to Lea & Sandeman, this organic wine from southeastern Spain has attractive dark fruit and a pleasant, smooth texture. It’s a charming wine for less than £10. Will Lyons, The Sunday Times (Nov 2017)

Organic reds are rather more fertile hunting ground than whites. Harking back to last week’s column, here’s another wine that disguises its origins: Old Hands Organic Joven 2015 is a lush, ripe, juicy monastrell (mourvèdre) from Yecla that looks – and tastes – more like an Australian red. At less than £10, it’s great value, too.Fiona Beckett, The Guardian - www.matchingfoodandwine.com (Oct 2017)
Blackcurrant, mint, clove - lots to enjoy here at a very reasonable price. Totally ripe and balanced. Rating: 15 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jul 2017)
Bodegas La Purisima
Bodegas La Purísima is a collective of small-holding farmers (The Old Hands) who work together producing pure, bright fruit from the heart of the Yecla DOC. Monastrell (Mourvedre) is king here and between them they have over 100 HA of ungrafted Monastrell vines. Sauvignon Blanc has also found a happy home in this part of Yecla, with great results. Farmed like a cooperative the winery is overseen like a single estate by the fabulous María Teresa Ruiz González. Together they aim to be making the best wines in this exciting region of Yecla. The quality here is so impressive, organic, deliciously drinkable wine at such an incredible price - the Old Hands really know what they are doing and these two wines punch well above their weight.
