Protos Reserva 750ml - Item Code: 07007
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Protos Reserva 750ml greets the palate with a rich, velvety texture that makes it an ideal choice for special dinners or intimate gatherings. With an ABV of 14.5%, this Spanish red is crafted from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes grown in the Ribera del Duero region. The wine undergoes extended aging in oak barrels, which imparts complexity and depth while preserving the vibrant character of its origin.
On tasting, Protos Reserva reveals layers of ripe black fruit, subtle vanilla, and hints of spice that unfold gracefully with each sip. Its well-structured tannins and balanced acidity make it a perfect companion for roasted lamb or aged Manchego cheese, enhancing both the savory richness of the meat and the nutty flavors of the cheese. This wine’s harmonious blend of fruit and oak creates a memorable pairing experience at any table.

Wine Enthusiast
Robust aromas of dark toast, cool mint, cola, blackberry and chocolate are riper than what most 2013 RDDs show. A round, expansive palate gets drier as rough tannins take grip. Roasted, savory flavors are solid, while this simmers with oaky tobacco notes on a long finish. The more time this has in the bottle, the better.

Decanter
Interesting nose of ripe dark fruit framed by cocoa, spice and herbal character. Smooth palate with full body and fresh finish.

Wine & Spirits
Ripe, juicy and refined, this wine’s herbal dark-cherry flavors edge into prune. It’s tart and savory, with firm mineral acidity focusing the wine on lamb.
Tempranillo: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide
View All Tempranillo Products →Tempranillo is a prominent red grape variety native to Spain, known for producing rich and flavorful wines that are often blended. This versatile grape thrives in regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro, as well as in Portugal’s Dão and Alentejo. Tempranillo wines typically exhibit a medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and moderate acidity, making them approachable yet complex.
The flavor profile of Tempranillo is characterized by notes of cherry, plum, tomato, leather, vanilla, and tobacco. Aromas of dried fig, cedar, spice, and earthy undertones further enhance its appeal. Winemaking techniques often involve oak aging—using either American or French oak—and controlled fermentation temperatures; some lighter styles may even utilize carbonic maceration. These wines pair beautifully with grilled meats, paella, chorizo dishes, aged cheeses, and mushroom risotto—making them suitable for both casual dining and special occasions.
