Gran Viejo

The incredible growth of the Bodegas Protos winery led them to expand nationally and internationally, and thanks to the wonderful wines they created, this winery was able to construct their new facilities in the surrounding mountains. In the 1980s the Consejo Regulador recognized the Bodegas Protos winery for their grand quality of wine and therefore founded the Ribera del Duero DO of Spain to recognize this winery´s grand quality of wine. The name “Protos” comes from Greek to mean “first.” This name brings back the fact that they were the first winery of Peñafiel, Spain, founding the winemaking of the Ribera del Duero.

Elegant wine, with a good aromatic range and great complexity. Aromatic bouquet of excellent mature black fruit, spicy notes, balsamic, toasted and mineral notes. Tasty, broad, powerful, but with fine and elegant tannins, with the acidity of vines grown in very poor land. Long, pleasant and persistent finish. It will have a long life because of its structured tannins and noble-acidity.
