General Information
Protos Vendimia Seleccionada 2022 is one of those wines that always convince and year after year becomes a bestseller. It’s a Ribera del Duero made to measure for Vinoselección customers from a selection of Tempranillo fruits. This is a wine comparable to the Crianza from Bodegas Protos, since it’s in the segment between this one and its oak - with 9 months of ageing in French and American oak - but the surname 'Vendimia Seleccionada' is exclusive to Vinoselección.
Bodegas Protos is one of the most renowned and oldest wineries in Spain. It was founded in 1927, and its current name, which in Greek means "first", refers to the fact that it was also one of the pioneers in the area, only after the neighbouring Vega Sicilia. Originally, it was known as Bodegas Ribera del Duero, but when the designation of origin was established in 1982, it was given this name to then become Protos. The success surprised the company from its first steps: his first two vintages, 1927 and 1928, won awards at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1929. Years passed and this pioneering firm became one of the most innovative in the region, always in constant evolution. Today, its wines set trends in the region.
Due to its organoleptic properties, Protos Vendimia Seleccionada 2022 will be the perfect accompaniment to dishes such as brothy rice with rabbit and mushrooms or stewed beef round.
Tasting notes
Protos Vendimia Seleccionada 2022, in the glass, presents a beautiful cherry red colour, very ripe, with a deep garnet rim, with a high layer, lively and bright.
On the nose it displays notes of very ripe black fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants and raspberries) with great aromatic intensity. Later on, spicy echoes and soft toasted notes appear, and floral hints at the end of the aromatic journey.
On the palate it is tasty, full-flavoured and medium-bodied and displays a tannin of the variety that gives it a huge fruity character. Continuing with this taste experience, spicy notes appear with soft lactic echoes from careful ageing in oak barrels. Long and deep finish where notes of black fruit reappear, very ripe with a soft toasted touch.
