Protos Verdejo 2025
Founded in 1927 by 11 forward-thinking locals, the Protos winery, the first in Ribera del Duero, has an attitude of constant improvement with the sole aim of crafting the best possible wine. For the last 10 years, Protos has been studying every plot of land it owns, observing how Tempranillo clones adapt and change in each location to gain a deeper understanding of the vine, and ultimately craft the best expression of each terroir. The vineyard area spans an enormous 1,400 hectares throughout the Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Cigales DO’s, with some of the vines aged at between 50 and 100 years old. The soils are a mixture of loam-clay-sand, as well as some limestone and silt. The winery at Bodegas Protos was designed in 2008 by Rogers Stirk Harbour and is an architectural delight – well worth a visit if you find yourself in Ribera del Duero! In 2024, Bodegas Protos ranked in the '50 Most Admired Wine Brands in the World' by the prestigious Drinks International magazine.
Rod Easthope Reserve Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024
This is a very intense wine. It has marked passionfruit, citrus and a floral perfume reminiscent of elderflower fennel. The palate possesses an exciting tango between fruit intensity and acidity. The maturation yeast derived characaters impart and almost savoury saline like note that just makes you want to eat!
