Red dry
Protos Granserva Ribera del Duero DO 2017 is a premium red wine from the famous Ribera del Duero region in Spain, made only in the best years and from selected Tempranillo (or Tinta del País) grapes. It is a mature, elegant and complex wine that reveals the authentic character of the region.
The aromas are dominated by black fruits (cherries, plums), tobacco, spices, smoke, a harmony of leather and roasted coffee notes. The taste is balanced, structured, with silky tannins, and a long aftertaste.
The grapes are hand-picked from old vines (40+ years old), harvested at high altitudes (700-900m above sea level), ensuring excellent fruit concentration and acidity balance.
After fermentation, the wine is aged:
24 months in oak barrels (50% French, 50% American oak)
36 months in bottle.
Tiekti 18–20°C prie laukinės paukštienos, ėrienos, minkštai pagamintos jautienos, juodojo šokolado.
Quite a powerful and nicely chewy wine that manages to maintain its balance, which shows the power and potential of Ribera del Duero. Ripe but fresh blackberries, dark minerals and sweet spices with a balsamic touch. Masses of tannins delivered in a chalky, tense form. Long and still quite youthful. Certainly ambitious and structural. Drink from 2025.
