RIBERA DEL DUERO
"Commitment and purity: the most natural expression of the Ribera del Duero. A wine that captures the vibrant essence of the Tinta del País, balancing exuberant red fruit with conscious viticulture."
The Manifesto of the Land
Protos Organic represents the winery's evolution toward organic and minimal-intervention viticulture. Born from certified plots in the D.O. Ribera del Duero where respect for biodiversity is the highest priority, this outstanding Spanish organic red wine is fermented exclusively with indigenous yeasts. Its noble 9-month aging in French and American oak barrels seeks not to dominate, but to accompany the purity of the 100% Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grape. An exceptional alternative for those looking to buy high-quality organic wines with home delivery in Mexico.

2. Sommelier Notes
Appearance: Deep cherry red with electric purple and violet hues that denote its young, fresh, and natural character.
Nose: Honest, frank, and very clean aroma. An explosion of fresh red fruit (wild strawberry, currant, raspberry) accompanied by subtle notes of licorice and a very well-integrated wood that provides vanilla and spicy memories.
Palate: Silky, fresh, and enveloping entry. It shows a medium structure of great vivacity. Its tannins are round and juicy, culminating in a long finish with a very persistent fruity memory.

4. Pairing and Organic Recommendation
Conscious Gastronomy: Pairs perfectly with plant-based dishes such as eggplant moussaka, mushroom lasagna, wild mushroom risottos, or legume stews with Mediterranean spices.
Meats and Grill: Ideal to accompany grilled meat cuts, roast lamb, pork tenderloin skewers, or white meats with light sauces.
Mexican Cuisine: Exceptional pairing for steak tacos, artisanal cheese crusts (costras), Yecapixtla cecina, or blue corn masa sopes with traditional stews.
Service: Serve between 15°C and 16°C (59°F-61°F). Being a minimal-intervention wine, it benefits from a few minutes of aeration in the glass to display its full aromatic complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does it mean that it contains indigenous yeasts?
It means that the fermentation is carried out using the yeasts present naturally on the skin of the grape in the vineyard, avoiding the use of commercial strains. This gives the wine a genuine personality and a faithful expression of the Peñafiel terroir.
Does organic wine contain sulfites?
Yes, organic wines contain sulfites (some generated naturally during fermentation), but the maximum levels permitted by the EU organic certification are considerably lower than those of conventional wines.
