Protos Gran Reserva 2017 is a wine from the prestigious Protos winery located in Ribera del Duero. This wine is made exclusively from the Tempranillo grape variety, sourced from vineyards over 60 years old that produce concentrated grapes, ideal for long aging wines. The harvest is done manually, and the winery process ensures the best selection of grapes. The wine undergoes a fermentation process for 28 days at a controlled temperature of 28º C, followed by aging for 24 months in French and American oak barrels, and another 36 months in bottles. This rigorous method of production results in an expressive and powerful wine, which pairs perfectly with roasted meats, game stews, and aged cheeses. Protos is known for its commitment to quality, requiring lower yields in the vineyard and continuously renewing its barrel stock. This Gran Reserva, produced in exceptional vintages, is a clear manifestation of the winery's enological excellence. Its legacy in the region is significant, being one of the wineries that promoted the creation of the Denomination of Origin Ribera del Duero in 1982.
