The 2023 Tempranillo 9 Meses Protos hails from Ribera del Duero and was aged nine months in French and American oak barrels (first use), followed by the same period in foudre. Garnet in color, it opens with herbal aromas and enhanced red fruit. The oak plays a notable but not dominant role. Plush, indulgent and voluminous, this is a Ribera with a New World twist.
