Protos Seleccion Grajo Viejo Red 2018 0.75L

The "Finca El Grajo Viejo" (old vineyard), is strategically located at the foot of the Manvirgo hill between Anguix & Roa, at an altitude of 815 meters and facing south. The Seleccion El Grajo Viejo (single vineyard) is the cream of Protos wines. Produced from 100% Tinta del Pais from a single 70 year old vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 500 liter French barrels at a controlled temperature and is then left to mature for 18 months in new French barrels and 12 months in the bottles.

It has a deep purple color with purple hues and is an elegant wine, with good aromatic range and great complexity. More specifically, the aromatic bouquet consists of extremely ripe black fruits, mocha, spices and finally some balsamic and mineral notes. In the mouth it is delicious full bodied but with fine and elegant tannins, with the acidity of the vines grown on poor land bringing the balance. Long, pleasant, slightly salty and persistent finish and great aging potential due to its structured tannins and noble acidity. Enjoy it with roast pork, red meat, chorizos, foie gras and mature cheeses.

It was 1927 when eleven childhood friends from different professions gathered to celebrate their families' viticultural roots and their love for their village, Penafiel. They had a dream, not only to make good quality wines, but also to highlight the importance of a forgotten wine region with a brilliant heritage. Together they would change the history of this region, introducing from rustic wines for personal consumption to a now world famous Spanish appellation, Ribera del Duero.

The original name of the winery was Ribera del Duero. In 1982, Protos authorizes the use of the brand "Ribera Duero", to establish the Designation of Origin. So they took the word "FIRST" from the Greek language and made it their new name. They were the first to see the potential of the area. In the vineyards of Ribera del Duero the grapes are 100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo) at an altitude between 750 and 800 meters. In 2020 it was distinguished as a "Best Winery" by Wines & Spirits magazine.
