Rose dry
Protos Clarete Rosado 2025 is a fresh and expressive rosé wine that reflects the historical tradition of Spanish claret. Unlike most modern rosés, the claret style is born from the co-fermentation of red and white grapes, a winemaking method that has been cultivated for centuries in Ribera del Duero and the surrounding regions.
The aromas are dominated by strawberries, raspberries, red currants and cherries, complemented by nuances of blood orange, grapefruit peel, herbs and delicate floral notes. The wine is characterized by bright fruitiness, but at the same time maintains a fresh and elegant character.
The wine is lively and perfectly balanced. Fresh acidity provides energy, while notes of ripe red berries, citrus fruits and light spices create a long and pleasant aftertaste. This is a light, yet characteristic wine.
The wine is made mainly from Tempranillo (about 85%), with a small amount of Albillo and Garnacha. The grapes are harvested early to preserve their natural acidity and aromatic freshness. After about 15 hours of maceration, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 8–10°C with fatty fish, octopus, tapas, and milder cheeses.
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.
What makes the winery distinctive
Architecture and wine tourism
In 2008, Bodegas Protos opened a new winery in the Ribera del Duero region designed by renowned British architect Sir Richard Rogers. The building has become one of Spain’s most striking examples of contemporary wine architecture, serving not only a functional purpose but also highlighting the winery’s modern, forward-looking vision.
Style and reputation
Bodegas Protos wines are characterized by a clear regional identity, structure, and balance. The Ribera del Duero red wines stand out for their ripe tannins, concentrated dark fruit character, and strong aging potential, while the Rueda Verdejo wines are known for their freshness, aromatic purity, and excellent gastronomic versatility.
