Protos, which comes from the Greek word for ‘FIRST', has the pride and the privilege of having found maturity and ease in the best and the foremost of the wineries in the area and of having been a recognized trademark all this time. It is in Peñafiel, a Valladolid town held together by the Duero River, where this gift of the land is born. Protos has the privilege of having been engendered in the hear of one of the most important fortresses in the area –Peñafiel Castle. This Castle is a landmark for Castilla y Leon region since the Wine Museum is housed in it. Its location, the imminent opening of the new winery –an architectural jewel that has already become a symbol of the Ribera del Duero D.O. The guiding philosophy of Protos at work is ‘Quality above all’. For this reason the whole process leading to the production of wine undergoes an in-depth analysis.
