Bodegas Protos 27, Ribera del Duero, is an exceptional wine crafted by Bodegas Protos, a renowned winery situated in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. The grapes are sourced from venerable vineyards, over half a century old, in the Burgos Province. The process begins with a meticulous manual harvest and pre-fermentative cold maceration, followed by an alcoholic fermentation using native yeasts in stainless steel vats. A 20-day maceration period with daily battonage adds depth and complexity. This wine undergoes a total of 16 months of aging in new French oak barrels, where the initial fermentation occurred, and an additional 12 months of bottle aging. The result is a masterpiece with intense character, harmonizing the region's terroir with rich notes of fruit and spices, a testament to Bodegas Protos' expertise and dedication.
