Protos Ribera del Duero Crianza 2021 is a bold, polished Spanish red that highlights the power and elegance of Tempranillo grown in Ribera del Duero’s high-altitude vineyards. Crafted by one of the region’s most historic and respected producers, this wine delivers depth, structure, and vibrant fruit wrapped in refined oak influence.
The 2021 vintage opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, plum, blackberry, vanilla, and warm spice, layered with hints of cocoa and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully balanced—showing ripe dark fruit, firm yet smooth tannins, and lively acidity that brings freshness and lift. Notes of cedar, mocha, and subtle earth add complexity, while the finish is long, structured, and satisfying.
This Crianza pairs effortlessly with grilled meats, lamb chops, steak, roasted vegetables, hearty pastas, tapas, and Spanish classics like chorizo or jamón. Its combination of richness, finesse, and age-worthy character makes it versatile for both special occasions and elevated weeknight dinners.
Reliable, expressive, and consistently high quality, Protos Crianza 2021 is a standout bottle for fans of powerful, modern-style Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero.

"A perfume of lavender and violets is framed by dark berries and present, but not overpowering, vanilla notes. The palate is juicy, with noticeable tannins; though most notable is the segue from nose to palate, for the two exist as harmonious counterparts. Surely, there is still room to grow here, however, an underlying delicacy is already apparent." |

"Spicy laden nose with aromas of red liquorice, anise, ripe blackberries and attractive floral undertones. Plump and fruity palate." |
