Protos Ribera Del Duero Reserva

Cherry red in colour with garnet rim. The bouquet shows ripe fruit with hints of spice, intense ripe fruit (plums, blackberries) that lead to memories of sweet spices (cinnamon, vanilla) on a pleasant and subtle toasty balsamic (cedar). The palate is big and bold, with elegant tannins and very good tactile sensations and juicy fruitiness with complex flavours but the most incredible finale is the endless finish.

At the feet of the striking Peñafiel Castle, in the heart of Castile and León, a significant part of the origin and history of the Ribera del Duero can be found. Exactly 90 years ago, in 1927, 11 wine growers from the village of Peñafiel founded the Ribera Duero Winery that started to produce red wines with the local variety Tinto Fino, under the brand Protos (from Greek meaning ‘to be first’) with a philosophy of continuous improvement that has never changed over the course of the years. Protos is undoubtedly a fundamental part of the history of this mythical designation of origin that attained world fame. Protos has always upheld its philosophy of producing wines of the absolutely highest quality, with an elegance and zeal that have made them legendary. The winery joins tradition and respect for origins.
