Protos Crianza 2019

Protos Crianza 2019 is a crianza red wine produced by Bodegas Protos, a prestigious winery located in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Protos is renowned for its long history and for making high-quality wines that reflect the authenticity and character of the region. Protos Crianza 2019 is made primarily from the Tinta del País grape variety, which is the local name for the Tempranillo grape in the Ribera del Duero region. This grape is known for its potential to produce robust, structured wines.

This wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for a period of 14 months, followed by at least 10 months of bottle aging before release. This barrel aging and subsequent bottle rest allows the wine to develop greater complexity and smoothness.

The 2019 Protos Crianza has an intense and bright cherry red color. On the nose, it displays a wide range of aromas, highlighting notes of ripe black fruits such as plums and blackberries, along with spicy touches, such as vanilla and pepper, from its barrel aging. Subtle notes of toasted wood and cocoa can also be appreciated.

On the palate, this wine shows excellent structure and balance. It is savory and round, with ripe tannins and well-integrated acidity. The fruit flavors combine with elegant notes of wood and spice, providing a complex and rewarding taste experience. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant sensation on the palate.

The 2019 Protos Crianza is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, such as roasted red meats, lamb, cured meats and aged cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own, as its quality and personality stand out on their own.
