Since 1946, Bodegas La Purísima has selected and transformed the fruit of the best vines in order to create the Great Wines of Yecla with a commitment to quality, innovation and tradition in winemaking, recognized by numerous international awards and the trust of thousands of customers around the world.

Bodegas La Purísima was founded in 1946 by several farmers who joined forces in order to improve the quality of the Yecla wines. Their determination and desire to produce great wines finally led, in 1975, to their receiving the Denomination Origin title. This was a huge achievement for these farmers who, limited by the border of the municipality, registered the Yecla Denomination of Origin nº27 in line with the prestigious French AOCs; and is indeed the only communal DO in Spain.

Today Bodegas La Purísima is one of the most important bodegas in the region, contributing 60% of the total production of Yecla wines. Yet it remains loyal to the spirit of its founders: Quality and Authenticity. A history marked by the commitment of Bodegas La Purísima to quality, innovation and tradition in winemaking, is recognized by way of numerous international awards and the trust of thousands of customers in over 30 countries.
