Bodegas Protos

Protos Reserva is an elegant wine, complex, with an intense character that will surely leave a mark on whoever tastes it. Produced from 100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo). After fermentation, it matures for 18 months in French and American barrels and then 24 months in bottles.

It has a dark cherry color with grainy highlights and has an intense nose of raspberry, licorice, vanilla, spices, salty fruit and herbal notes, such as lavender. In the mouth it has good acidity, with an excellent balance of fruit and wood, and the aftertaste is long and persistent. Accompany it with smoked fish, red meat and truffle dishes.

The "Finca El Grajo Viejo" (old vineyard), is strategically located at the foot of the Manvirgo hill between Anguix & Roa, at an altitude of 815 meters and facing south. The Seleccion El Grajo Viejo (single vineyard) is the cream of Protos wines. Produced from 100% Tinta del Pais from a single 70 year old vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 500 liter French barrels at a controlled temperature and is then left to mature for 18 months in new French barrels and 12 months in the bottles.

It has a deep purple color with purple hues and is an elegant wine, with good aromatic range and great complexity. More specifically, the aromatic bouquet consists of extremely ripe black fruits, mocha, spices and finally some balsamic and mineral notes. In the mouth it is delicious full bodied but with fine and elegant tannins, with the acidity of the vines grown on poor land bringing the balance. Long, pleasant, slightly salty and persistent finish and great aging potential due to its structured tannins and noble acidity. Enjoy it with roast pork, red meat, chorizos, foie gras and mature cheeses.
