About Protos Gran Reserva

Protos Gran Reserva is one of the quintessential wines from the DO. Ribera del Duero, crafted by Bodegas Protos in the town of Peñafiel, Valladolid. Bodegas Protos is a historic winery. It was the first winery to begin producing wines in the Ribera del Duero region, back in 1927.

Protos Gran Reserva is made from Tinta del País grapes, sourced from old vines over 60 years of age. These vines are planted on predominantly calcareous sandy-loam soils with low fertility, on estates near the Duero River. This area experiences a Mediterranean climate with continental influences, characterised by dry summers and very cold winters, where there is a significant thermal contrast between day and night.

The harvest of Protos Gran Reserva is conducted manually, with cluster selection taking place in the vineyard itself. The grapes are transported to the winery in small 20 kg boxes. Once at the winery, a second selection is carried out to choose the finest grapes. After fermentation, Protos Gran Reserva undergoes ageing for 24 months in oak barrels and an additional 36 months of bottle ageing.

2017
A Ribera del Duero that speaks in slow, profound whispers. Protos Gran Reserva 2017 is a red wine that unfurls layers of stewed fruit, pipe tobacco, bitter cocoa, and a mineral undertone reminiscent of a cellar at rest. On the palate, it is pure harmony: polished tannins, an enveloping texture, and a long, silky, contemplative finish. A wine that leaves an impression without needing to raise its voice.

Protos Gran Reserva 2016 exhibits an intense and brilliant deep cherry red hue, with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is expressive and powerful, with aromas of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and caramelized fruits such as plums and figs. On the palate, it is meaty, powerful, and creamy, with a spicy touch and a long, silky finish. This wine has a concentrated and elegant profile that makes it unforgettable.

Protos Gran Reserva 2015 is a red wine that presents a complex bouquet, predominantly featuring stewed fruit accompanied by nuances of cocoa, tobacco, toasted elements, smokiness, and a subtle mineral hint.
