Protos Ribera Del Duero Roble

A vibrant cherry in colour with purple rim. A fruity bouquet of cherry and plum, with a touch of raspberry followed by some vanilla and herbs. Plums, dark cherry and black currant with Christmas cake spice and earthy/gamey notes on the palate. Vibrant and driven by a vein of acidity with soft tannins that leaves your mouth fresh and ready for more.

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.
