Description

The complex and elegant expression of a concentrated and balanced Spanish wine

The estate

Bodegas Protos, a legend in Ribera del Duero, was founded in 1927. The winegrowers in this region in Spain united through a desire for solidarity, founding the first wineries in La Ribera - hence the name "Protos", which means "First" in Greek. Over time, Bodegas Protos acquired an international reputation through their exports all over the world. Having become a symbol of the Ribera del Duero, Bodegas Protos represent a perfect alchemy between a respect for tradition and the constant quest for innovation. Authentic, generous and superbly crafted, Protos crus embody Spanish wines which rank among the elite in the Ribera del Duero.

The vineyard

Bodegas Protos vineyards are located at the heart of the Ribera del Duero region in Peñafiel (Valladolid) and Anguix (Burgos). At the head of more than 1,400 hectares of vineyards, Protos strives to only produce great wines which represent the diversity of climates, terroirs and grape varieties in Ribera del Duero.

Protos ’27 2018 is produced from old vineyards in the Burgos province. There, the vines are aged by over 50 years.

Winemaking and ageing

After the manual harvests, the grapes begin the vinification process. First, they macerate cold before undergoing fermentation with indigenous yeasts for 21 days at a controlled temperature of 25 degrees. The grapes then macerate for 20 days with daily pumping over. To finish, the wine ages for 16 months in French oak barrels before spending 12 additional months in bottle.

Blend

Tempranillo (100%).

Tasting

Colour

Protos ’27 2018 presents a very intense red adorned with garnet borders.

Nose

The aromatic bouquet expresses the intensity, complexity and elegance of black fruits which are perfectly harmonised with touches of roasted, vanilla and pleasantly smoky notes.

Palate

Protos ’27 2018 is a concentrated, balanced and round wine. A remarkable persistence and an impressive ageing potential.

Serving and keeping

For an optimal tasting, serve at between 16 and 18°C.
