The 'Old Hands' of Yecla have again made an absolute cracker this vintage. Organically grown by a collective of old farmers, this Monastrell (also known as Mourvedre in France) is picked at perfect ripeness giving a beautifully balanced and incredible value red. Juicy, plummy with fresh, cherry-skin bite, with just a hint of dried herb and spice results in a deeply satisfying wine that just keeps you coming back for more. L&S (Feb 2025)

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.
