What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Protos Gran Reserva 2017 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a other wine from Ribera del Duero, Spain, but its grape variety is not yet confirmed in the catalogue.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
No cultivar temperature guidance is shown until the grape is identified.
Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Ribera del Duero
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Historical Texas label approval
One official label approval has the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Founded in 1927 by 11 Ribera del Duero winemakers, Protos is a Spanish winery located in Peñafiel, Valladolid. The estate's vineyards cover approximately 100 hectares in an area characterized by a Mediterranean climate with continental influences, benefiting from significant temperature variations. In 2012, Bodegas Protos was awarded Winery of the Year by Wine & Spirits magazine. Protos Gran Reserva is a red from the Ribera del Duero, produced exclusively with Tinta del País grapes, sourced from vineyards that are over 60 years old, on plots located near the Duero River, on predominantly sandy, calcareous soils. After manual selection, harvesting, and fermentation, the finished wine ages in oak barrels for two years and a further three years in the bottle. The result is an elegant and harmonious wine, deep and mature, revealing a broad aromatic profile with notes of red fruit jam, plum, and blackberry, hints of bitter cocoa and tobacco, over a mineral and smoky background. On the palate, it is soft, round, and generous, with silky tannins and a smooth texture. The finish is long, persistent, and expressive. Try it with braised wild boar, pheasant stew, or aged cheeses.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
