Protos Vendimia Seleccionada 2024 is a highly varietal red wine, which also displays floral and spicy notes from the oak, as it undergoes 6 months of aging in barrels (longer than the 'standard' Protos Roble, a true sales phenomenon in our country). Don’t miss this Tempranillo that reflects the expression of the magnificent Protos vineyards in the D.O. Ribera del Duero.
Protos was - apart from Vega Sicilia - the first winery in Ribera del Duero. It was founded in 1927 after the union of 11 winegrowers and was one of the wineries that promoted the creation of the Denominación de Origen Ribera del Duero in 1982. It is located in Peñafiel, where the old winery stands at the foot of the Castle, with 2 km of galleries dug into the mountain, perfect for aging wines. Connected to this through an underground tunnel is the new Protos winery, designed by Richard Rogers.
Bodegas Protos knows that achieving quality requires top-quality grapes. Therefore, while the D.O. regulations allow a yield of up to 7,000 kg of grapes per hectare, Protos demands a maximum of 5,000 kg. Additionally, it has enormous viticultural potential, enabling it to allocate each cluster to a specific type of wine. Another pillar of its philosophy is the constant renewal of its barrel stock.
The red wine Protos Vendimia Seleccionada 2024 (D.O. Ribera del Duero) pairs perfectly with beef cheeks in red wine and roasted lamb.
Protos was (except for Vega Sicilia) the first winery of Ribera del Duero: founded in 1927 as a cooperative after the union of 11 winegrowers from the area, and one of the wineries that promoted the creation of the Denomination of Origin in Ribera del Duero (1982). Today, it is one of the most important wineries in Spain, and its wines are sold in 100 countries across five continents.
Located in Peñafiel, where the old and new wineries are connected by an underground tunnel. The old winery, exclusively dedicated to aging, has 2 kilometers of underground galleries carved into the mountain on which the castle stands, where the wines are aged under optimal natural conditions. The new facilities, with a spectacular design by the prestigious architect Richard Rogers, place Protos at the forefront of the wine and wine tourism scene. In fact, it is the most visited winery in the D.O. Ribera del Duero and was the first nationally to achieve the "mark of excellence" certificate by the prestigious international body Superbrands. Additionally, in 2013, Protos was recognized as "Winery of the Year" by Wine & Spirit magazine, and in 2022, it was named one of the 50 most admired wineries in the world by the prestigious international organization Drinks International.
Bodegas Protos owns 150 hectares of its own vineyards and also sources from its associates to craft its elegant wines. This carefully managed but extensive viticulture potential allows the allocation of each grape bunch to a specific type of wine. Another cornerstone of its philosophy is the constant renewal of its barrel stock (with a maximum of 4 years). Since 2006, Protos has also been present in the D.O. Rueda, where it produces Verdejo whites following the same high-quality standards. More recently, in 2019, it announced its entry into the D.O. Cigales.
