This is the new vintage of Protos El Grajo Viejo, a high-end, single varietal Tinta del País red wine produced by the prestigious Protos winery.
This premium Spanish red wine is only produced in exceptional vintages. It is made from grapes coming from 18 little plots scattered over some of the best terroirs in the whole of Ribera del Duero. The vines are almost 80 years old, have extremely low yields and are located at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level.
The grapes of this red wine from Ribera del Duero were manually harvested and selected twice, once in the vineyard and once in the cellar.
Alcoholic fermentation took place in large new French oak barrels, after the completion of which the wine was macerated for 4 weeks.
After that, Protos El Grajo Viejo 2016 was transferred into French oak barrels from different cooperages, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for over a period of 18 months.
Finally, after its bottling this old-vines Tempranillo was aged for a further 6 months before its commercial release.
This is a wine with a good ageing potential. Properly stored, it will improve in the bottle for about 6-8 years.
Decant this Crianza red wine 40-60 minutes before drinking.
