Details
Protos 27 2022
An homage to the 11 founding members of Bodegas Protos, which started the company back in 1927, the wine Protos 27 is a varietal Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero.
Produced from over 50-year-old vineyards, after a meticulous harvest the grapes were cold macerated and then fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts at a temperature of 25ºC.
After that, this Spanish red wine was macerated for a further 20 days with daily pump-overs. Then the wine Protos 27 2022 was transferred into new French oak barrels and aged for a period of 16 months.
Finally, this Reserva red wine was bottled and aged for 12 months minimum before hitting the market.
Aerate this red wine from Ribera del Duero 1 hour before drinking.
Pair with roast recipes and premium meat cuts.
| Appearance | The red wine Protos 27 is medium purple with a violet and bluish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Surprisingly fresh and lively, this varietal Tempranillo carries loads of cranberries, bilberries and bluberries, with notes of vanilla, cinnamon and cedar, a hint of toast and remembrances of flowers and dry earth. |
| Palate | While retaining an unmistakable Ribera character, this wine from Bodegas Protos is balanced, fresh and subtle. Layers of flavour, with a tangy acidity and a gentle touch of oak. Complex finish with a spicy and mineral tinge. |
| Our personal opinion | Judging by the wine Protos 27 2022, it definitely seems that Bodegas Protos has embraced the current trend towards gentler and more approachable wines. |
