Protos’27 is the most emblematic wine from the Protos winery. A tribute to the first ever vintage commercialized by the winery in 1927 by the 11 winegrowers who established the winery in Peñafiel and the outcome of the interesting project carried out by the winery in the I+D+I area.

Proto'27 has a profile that differs from the rest of the winery's range of red wines, being much fresher, more harmonious, and with a distinct personality and fruit expressiveness.

Production: 

Exclusively made from Tinta del Pais sourced from the most treasured vineyards, harvested manually and double selected in the vineyard and at the sorting table.

The wine is aged for 16 months in new French oak cask followed by 12 months of refinement in bottle before being released into the market.

Tasting Notes: 

Intense cherry red color, lively and bright. A stunning nose of ripe red and black fruit combined with sweet spices and toasted notes. Very expressive and elegant.

Notes: It can be enjoyed very well now through the next 5–8 years.
