Protos Roble Ribera del Duero 2021
From the ancient vineyards of the Ribera del Duero, the Protos Roble is a vibrant and expressive red wine that showcases the best of the region’s Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grape. The name “Protos,” meaning “first” in Greek, pays homage to its history as one of the oldest wineries in the region. This wine is aged for six months in a combination of American and French oak barrels, followed by another six months in the bottle, resulting in a perfect harmony of fruit and spice.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: An attractive cherry-red color with a vibrant purple rim, clean and bright.
- Aroma: A powerful and complex nose with an expressive bouquet of fresh red and black fruits, such as cherry and blackberry. These are beautifully complemented by sweet spices, subtle toasty notes, and a hint of vanilla from the oak aging.
- Palate: The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with a fresh and fruity character. It presents flavors of ripe red fruit, and is balanced by smooth, pleasant tannins and a touch of sweet oak.
- Finish: A long and persistent finish with lingering fruit, toasted notes, and a gentle spice that leaves the palate feeling clean and ready for the next sip.
The Protos Roble is a classic and versatile wine. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including grilled and roasted meats, hearty stews, cured ham, and aged cheeses. This is an ideal and easy-drinking companion for anyone looking to enjoy a high-quality, authentic Ribera del Duero with a perfect balance of youth and oak influence.
