About Aire de Protos

Although the DO. Cigales was not established until 1991, this region in the heart of Castilla y León—in the northwest of Spain—boasted a long-standing winemaking tradition. Some records date back to the 10th century, when certain estates cultivated their vineyards to satisfy the appetite and thirst of the Castilian court, especially during the 17th century when Philip II moved the court to Valladolid. Today, no winery in the area wishes to remain outside this tradition, and Protos, one of Spain's greats, is no exception with its Aire de Protos. 
 
Tempranillo, garnacha tinta, albillo, verdejo, and viura are blended in Aire de Protos to create this rosé crafted within the DO. Cigales. From its inception, Protos has always aimed to produce wines of excellence, and with Aire de Protos, it achieves this through several key factors. 
 
The first involves restricting the yield of the vines to obtain a balanced grape. The vineyards where Aire de Protos is cultivated are young, less than 25 years old, and are planted on the banks of the Pisuerga River, right in the northern sector of the Duero depression, on soils of sand, limestone, and marl at an average altitude of 750 metres. As in the rest of Castilla y León, in this area, the continental climate dictates the seasons with its heat, frosts, and mists that promote a significant contrast between day and night, which is crucial for the ripening of the grape. 
 
Once this stage is reached, Aire de Protos is harvested, marking another important moment, as every detail is meticulously attended to throughout this process, organising the harvest process with precision. In fact, Aire de Protos is handpicked at night, in 10 kg boxes, always ensuring the clusters arrive at the winery in the best possible condition, minimising oxidation. 
 
Upon arrival, Aire de Protos is crushed and processed in an inert and cold atmosphere, achieving a high-quality free-run must with minimal pressure, resulting in a must of exceptional quality. This liquid, which will have a very pale hue, is left to settle statically for a period, and once clarified, it is racked into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Finally, Aire de Protos is kept in these same vessels for a minimum of three months, where Aire de Protos will remain in contact with the lees. 
 
Protos has never followed trends; and with Aire de Protos, it was not going to make an exception. Discover Aire de Protos and the rosé that best reflects the character of this historic area.
