About the winery

A LEGEND IS BORN

Protos, (of the Greek “FIRST”) is proud and feels privileged of having experienced maturity and stillness in the biggest and first cellar located in the area maintaining its reputation through the years.

Thanks to the fearlessness and devotion to the terroir shown by the comarca’s wine growers in 1927 the best efforts were gathered and the first cellar in la Ribera was built. Although a project for the future preserves all the characteristics intact up to the present and still growing and multiplying every year, well known at the international spheres.

THE BODEGA’S GROWTH

The Bodega grown rapidly and first space problems arose, that’s how growth process across the comarca began. Right in the centre of the mountain, foundation of Peñafiel Castle, an aging cellar is being built.

As the Bodega’s trademark benefited from a quality and prestigious reputation during the 80’s a well-considered wine terrior adopted its name, Ribera del Duero. The Regulatory Council of Designation of Origin was established to watch over the quality of the area wines. The aging bodega was broaden in 1995 acquiring solid reputation in the international wine scene

This project has been growing by the acquisition of a wine producing bodega in Anguix (Burgos). This cellar has the capability to produce two millions kilograms of grape and it is equipped with the most advanced technology.

Sobre la bodega

Protos, del griego "PRIMERO", tiene el orgullo y privilegio de haber encontrado madurez y reposo en la mayor y primera de las bodegas de la zona, manteniendo su fama a lo largo del tiempo.

En 1927 el arrojo y el apego a la tierra de los viticultores de la comarca, consiguieron unir los mejores esfuerzos para crear la bodega, la primera de la Ribera. Un proyecto de futuro que además de haber llegado intacto hasta nuestros días, crece y se multiplica cada año, y ha llevado su nombre hasta lo más alto del panorama internacional.

Los años 30 suponen su asentamiento definitivo a nivel internacional. Sobre todo a raíz de que la exposición universal de Barcelona de 1929 otorgase a sus vinos tintos la medalla de oro.
