ntroduction:
The 2019 Bodegas La Purísima Tinto VV ("Colheita Seleccionada") is a bold and expressive Yecla red—rich, mineral-driven, and bursting with ripe fruit character. A regional benchmark with both depth and freshness.
Terroir:
From high-altitude vineyards in Yecla (500–900 m), with continental climate and limestone-iron soils. Built for structure and balance, the region nurtures concentrated grapes that retain acidity despite heat.
Appearance:
Deep, glossy black cherry with intense saturation—visually impactful and intense.
Nose:
Powdery black fruit—blackberries and plum—meld with tertiary spice, vanilla toast, and subtle mineral earth notes.
Palate:
Full-bodied, framed by firm yet polished tannins. The fruit core offers blackberry, cherry, and fresh herbs, while toasty oak and mineral salinity infuse finish layers with nuance.
Finish:
Long and layered, with fruit echoing into toasted spice, mineral tension, and lingering complexity.
Overall Impression:
A powerful and polished Spanish red—balanced, layered, and food-ready. Ideal with grilled lamb, roasted meats, and aged cheeses. Enjoy now through the late 2020s.
