PROTOS '27
SIGNATURE WINE
RIBERA DEL DUERO
PREMIUM SELECTION
"A tribute to history and the avant-garde: Protos '27 is the winery's highest expression of 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 more than 50 years old in the best terroirs of Ribera, this red uses native yeasts selected by the winery itself, which gives it an exclusive character. It is a monumental wine that balances the classic robustness of Tinta del País with a freshness and minerality that define the new standard of high-end Spanish wine. Explore it alongside more Spanish wines and other signature wines.

Nose: Complex and suggestive. Layers of candied black fruit intertwine with notes of graphite, black liquorice and fine spices such as pepper and clove, over an elegant balsamic background.

4. Pairing and Serving Recommendation
Cuts and Game: The ideal companion for a grilled chuletón, aged beef tenderloin or wild boar stew.
Haute Mexican Cuisine: Exceptional with Oaxacan Mole Negro; the density and chocolate/spice notes of the wine accompany the complexity of cacao and chiles without overpowering them.
Regional: Roast lechazo (suckling lamb), the pairing par excellence of Ribera del Duero.
Service: Serve at 17°C - 18°C. Decanting for at least 60 minutes is essential so the wine shows all its mineral elegance.
