Bodegas Protos

Protos Gran Reserva is a wonderful wine, easy to drink, with notes of fruit both on the nose and in the mouth and a very complex aromatic bouquet produced from 60 year old Tempranillo. After vinification, it matures for 24 months in French and American barrels -mostly new- and then rests for 36 months in bottle.

It has a dark cherry color with grainy highlights and on the nose it is expressive and complex. The bouquet is complex with jam, cocoa, smoke, mineral notes, aromatic herbs and a light sense of wet earth, while in the mouth it is elegant with round tannins and a long aftertaste. It has good aging potential and can be enjoyed with Veal, Rib Eye, Lamb Ribs and Beef Wellington.

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.
