PROTOS '27
SIGNATURE WINE • RIBERA DEL DUERO • PREMIUM SELECTION
"A tribute to history and avant-garde: Protos '27 is the ultimate expression of the winery's creativity, combining the power of Ribera with a unique silky elegance."
Avant-garde and Tradition in Every Glass
Protos '27 is much more than a wine; it is the result of 10 years of technical research and winemaking passion. Made with grapes from plots over 50 years old located in the best Ribera terroirs, this red uses native yeasts selected by the winery itself, which gives it an exclusive character. It is a monumental wine that manages to balance the classic robustness of Tinta del País with a freshness and minerality that define the new standard of Spanish high-end wines.

4. Pairing and Serving Recommendation
Cuts and Game: The ideal companion for a grilled ribeye steak, aged sirloin of beef, or wild boar stew.
Haute Mexican Cuisine: Exceptional with Oaxacan Black Mole; the wine's density and notes of chocolate/spice complement the complexity of cocoa and chilies without overshadowing them.
Region: Roasted suckling lamb (lechazo asado), the ultimate pairing of Ribera del Duero.
Serving: Serve at 17°C - 18°C. Essential to decant for at least 60 minutes for the wine to express all its mineral elegance.
