Protos Classic Wine Selection

60,00

Description

This set offers a great introduction to the Bodegas Protos style and brings together two different yet perfectly complementary wines from the heart of Spain. It combines the mature character of Ribera del Duero with the elegant and complex expression of Rueda Verdejo.

Protos 9 Meses is a rich and harmonious red wine made from Tempranillo. Aged for nine months in French oak barrels, it reveals notes of cherries, dark berries, spices, and subtle toasted nuances. Soft tannins, good structure, and balance make it suitable both for food pairing and for enjoying on its own.

Protos Verdejo Reserva offers a contrasting yet equally captivating style. This barrel-aged white wine comes from old vines in Rueda and shows aromas of herbs, tropical fruits, vanilla, and a light smoky touch. Its fuller texture and long finish add depth and elegance.

This set is ideal for those who want to:

  • discover different expressions of the Protos style,

  • have a wine for both dinner and relaxed evenings,

  • enjoy a combination of a structured red and a complex, aged white wine.

It is a set that clearly demonstrates why Protos is considered one of the most reliable and respected wineries in Spain.

About brand

Bodegas Protos is one of the oldest and most authoritative wineries in the Ribera del Duero region, widely regarded as a historical cornerstone of the appellation. Founded in 1927, well before Ribera del Duero received official DO status, the name Protos (from Greek, meaning “first”) symbolizes its pioneering role in the region.

Bodegas Protos was among the key initiators that helped shape Ribera del Duero into a world-class region for high-quality red wines. Today, it is an internationally recognized producer, exporting its wines to more than 100 countries and successfully combining long-standing tradition with modern winemaking.
