Bodegas Protos Aire Rose 2025

Profile & Story

Bodegas Protos traces its history to 1927, when eleven childhood friends from Penafiel came together to honor their families' winegrowing traditions; today more than 250 grower families call Protos home. Aire de Protos Rose is sourced from Cigales vineyards planted between ten and one hundred years old at 750-800 meters of altitude, blending Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Albillo, Verdejo, and Viura. The grapes are harvested mainly at night and processed quickly under cold, inert conditions to obtain free-run juice with minimal skin contact, preserving a pale color, then aged on fine lees with regular stirring for two to three months.

Pairing Recommendation

Pairs well with light meals such as salads and gazpacho, Asian cuisine like sushi and dim sum, Mediterranean dishes such as couscous and hummus, and seafood including tuna, anchovies, and langostines.
