Wine Enthusiast

Brandon Borcoman

A violet-tinged florality mingles with polished, barrel-scented aromatics. The palate is almost hedonistic in flavor and texture, with plush, jammy fruit that will seduce those with a penchant for richness. Yet for all its charm, the tannins do remain assertive, so a few more years in bottle might provide the optimal drinking experience.

/100

Decanter

A deep, complex nose, led by black cherry liqueur and chocolate with hints of coffee beans. Full and rich, but able to balance intense fruit with deft use of oak. Still so young and vibrant, there's great potential to evolve in bottle and gain complexity.

A Ribera del Duero True to the Founding Identity of Bodegas Protos

The Estate

Founded in 1927 in Peñafiel by eleven winegrowers, Bodegas Protos is the first structured bodega in the Ribera del Duero, in Castile and León. Its name, derived from the Greek word meaning "first", reflects this original vocation. Today a limited company, the house remains supported by a large community of more than 250 families connected to the vineyard, under the general management of Carlos Villar Bada and the technical direction of Marilena Bonilla. Protos combines historic underground galleries with a contemporary bodega, blending tradition and modernity.

The Vineyard

Protos '27 is crafted from old vines in the Ribera del Duero, on high-altitude plots that can exceed 800 metres. These vines, more than 50 years old, deliver naturally low yields that promote concentration and complexity in the grapes.

Vinification and Ageing

The Protos '27 2022 harvest is carried out by hand in small 20 kg crates. After a cold pre-fermentation maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place at around 25°C in stainless steel tanks, using selected yeasts from the estate's own vineyards. A maceration of about 20 days, punctuated by several daily pump-overs, precedes at least 16 months of ageing in new French oak barrels, followed by a minimum of 12 months in bottle.

Grape Variety

Grenache, complemented by other grape varieties.
