What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Protos Reserva 2020 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2020 other wine made from Tempranillo in Ribera del Duero, Spain.
Typical grape profile: Tempranillo — Cherry and plum with leather and vanilla from oak ageing, classic in Rioja. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
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
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Tempranillo growing profile. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
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.

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. Protos is a Spanish winery, located in Peñafiel, a town in the Valladolid area, in the Ribera del Duero wine district. Founded in 1927, it was the first winery in the region, and in fact, the name Protos comes from the Greek word for ‘first’. Protos Reserva is a red wine made from 100% Tinta del País (the local name for Tempranillo). The grapes come from vineyards over fifty years old, located in the province of Burgos, at an altitude between 750 and 900 meters. Here, the vines benefit from southern exposure and a Mediterranean microclimate with continental influences, characterized by dry summers, cold winters, and marked temperature variations between day and night. After manual harvesting and vinification, the finished wine ages for a year and a half in a mix of French and American oak and for another two years in bottle before release. The result is a harmonious wine that fully embodies the elegance of Ribera del Duero reds. On the nose, it displays an intense and ripe aromatic profile with fruity notes of plum, black cherry, and blackberry, followed by toasted, balsamic, and baking spice hints. On the palate, it is powerful and balanced, concentrated and smooth, with ripe tannins and a pleasantly refreshing acidity. The finish is long, warm, and persistent, with hints of licorice and spice. It pairs perfectly with grilled red meats and aged Manchego cheese.
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.
