Protos Gran Reserva
Winemaker Notes
Protos Gran Reserva, a wonderful wine, easy to drink, with a fruit note both in the nose and mouth, with very complex aromatique nuances.
Dark cherry color with garnet rim. Expressive and complex on the nose, the tertiary aromas evoke a big range of smells reminiscent of jam, cocoa, tobacco, mineral notes with slightly smoky notes. Round tannins with long finish. Good aging potential.

Vinous
The 2016 Gran Reserva is a 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, aged 24 months in barrels—80% French and 20% American. Garnet-red in the glass. The nose features red fruit such as plum and sour cherry complemented by notes of bay leaf, wild herbs and licorice, all layered over a cedar bed. The dry and grippy palate displays firm tannins and a chalky texture, resulting in a rich, taut Ribera red with nuanced, lasting flavor.
