The wine
Protos wines are characterized by their excellent combination of wood and fruit, and noted for their enduring length and smoothness which make for very pleasant drinking. This is their Reserva, a wine made from selected Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes, sourced from their oldest vineyard plots and aged for 18 months in American and French oak barrels, followed by at least 24 months in bottle. A fruity, flavoursome wine, elegant and full of nuances.

In the early 1980s, coinciding with the creation of the Regulatory Council of the area, the winery changed its original name to Bodegas Protos (from the Greek protos, which means first).
