Protos Description

The history of Protos dates back to 1927, when 11 viticulturists established the “Ribera del Duero” winery, with an avantgarde vision of preparing quality wines under one brand. Over ninety years later, this spirit still lives on and continues growing year upon year. At Protos, we take pride in our roots, using only our native varieties, Tempranillo and Verdejo, and in 1982, allowing our brand “Ribera del Duero” to be used for the recently established Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin.

Genuine commitment to quality, controlled vineyards, limited yields, manual harvest, barrel aging and a rigorous control of the entire elaboration process, give our wines global prestige.

This commitment to quality is demonstrated through the brand’s ongoing reinvestment in research and betterment of their vineyards & wineries. This eagerness to keep evolving and adapting the wines with the outmost respect to the land, have ensured Protos as one of the most well-known and reliable brands by consumers the world over.

Winemaker Notes

Cherry red with purple flashes that indicate youth. High aromatic intensity, with aromas of ripe fruits well assembled with the wood that provides aromas of special sweet and pleasant toasted aromas. Enveloping and tasty, balanced, with finesse and pleasant maturity. Finishes with hints of ripe fruit.

Professional Ratings

92Wine Enthusiast
Inky garnet in the glass, this wine has a bouquet of blackberry, dark chocolate and anisette. Blackberry, black cherry, mocha and clove flavors are wrapped in robust tannins that fade into a satisfying finish.
91James Suckling
A pretty nose of strawberries, raspberries, caramel and dried thyme. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins. Structured with lots of dark fruit character on the palate and a vibrant, fruity finish. Drink after 2023.
