WINES DESIGNED FOR EXPORT
The history of this winery is defined by a commitment
to quality, innovation and winemaking tradition. It was
founded in 1946 by several farmers who came together to
improve the quality of Yecla wines and to make great wines.
In fact, at the beginning of the 1990s, the winery made one
of its best wines, Iglesia Vieja Crianza, making it one of the
region’s foremost wines, subsequently featuring on wine
lists in the leading restaurants in Murcia. It is a wine which
paved the way for producing other great wines.
For the staff at Bodegas La Purísima, wines are “like a
work of art incorporating a young, modern and up-todate
philosophy within a long history”. The winery’s team
is young, very well qualified and has great experience.
Its technical staff, winemakers, sales team, international
consultants and marketing personnel work daily to create
the best wines possible.
As the winery points out, “wines from our region (Yecla,
Murcia) are fashionable worldwide thanks to the Monastrell
grape and the acclaim given to it from the best critics
internationally”.
Bodegas La Purísima wines “adapt to the needs of the
most demanding customers, constantly complying with the
parameters of quality, both in the harvesting of the grapes
and in the making of the wine”.
“Our prestige is based on the quality of our wines and
on our capacity to satisfy large volumes”. With a clear
commitment to export (95% of its production is bound
for the international market), its customers include the
major agents and operators in the world of wine in over
50 countries.
