The Bode­gas Pro­tos Heritage

Bode­gas Pro­tos was found­ed in March 1927 by 11 wine grow­ers from Peñafiel under the name Bode­ga Rib­era Duero. Their aim and mot­to was to pro­duce pre­mi­um qual­i­ty wines from the out­stand­ing Tin­to Fino Grapes cul­ti­vat­ed in this land. 55 years lat­er Pro­tos autho­rizes the Rib­era Duero trade­mark to be used to name Rib­era del Duero Appel­la­tion of Origin.

Until today, Pro­tos is con­ti­nous­ly expand­ing. The qual­i­ty and pres­tige the Win­ery acquired in the eight­ies led a high­ly rec­og­nized vine-grow­ing area to take on its own name, Rib­era del Duero, to iden­ti­fy the D.O. Con­trol Board that watch­es over the qual­i­ty of area wines. In 1995, the wine-aging cel­lar was enlarged and the Win­ery suc­ceed­ed in the inter­na­tion­al wine­mak­ing panorama.

The project con­tin­ues grow­ing: In the town of Anguix (Bur­gos), Pro­tos has acquired a win­ery that has the lat­est cut­ting-edge tech­nol­o­gy. It can pro­duce up to three mil­lion kilos of grapes, of which 1.5 mil­lion kilos go through the sort­ing table.

Among the acco­lades this win­ery has won: Wine And Spir­its Win­ery of the Year and Mar­ca de Exce­len­cia by the Inter­na­tion­al Super­brands Council.
