Tasting note for White Wine Protos Verdejo: 

Sight-Vinos-Covigran

Pale yellow color with green-lemon flashes, clean and bright.

Nose-Vinos-Covigran

First there are aromas of ripe white fruit (golden apple) and citrus fruits, and when shaking the glass, notes of fresh hay, fennel and cantaloupe melon.

Mouth-Vinos-Covigran

Very fruity and floral entry into the mouth, fresh passage and an acidity that is tamed with a little bottle (it is one of those rare young whites that need a little time in the bottle) and it becomes more complex. Bitter end and elegant drink.

Optimum service temperature: 10° C.

A pairing: Ceviche de rape en su lima.

Ingredients: 500 gr. of monkfish, a shallot, 6 limes, a bunch of coriander, 2 garlics or a few drops of hot sauce, fresh bean sprouts, salt and pepper.

Elaboration:

- Cut the monkfish into cubes, discarding the central spine and place it on a large platter.

- Put salt and pepper and add the chopped coriander on top, the onion cut into very thin slices and the chopped garlic.

- Squeeze two limes on top so that the fish is well impregnated with its juice and let marinate for at least 1 hour.

- Drain the fish and cut the 4 limes removing the top part to be able to vary them from their pulp. Fill with ceviche.

Bon Appetite!

Protos, a Greek word that means "first", was, in effect, the first winery to produce what 50 years later would be the Denomination of Origin Ribera del Duero. In recent times, and like other wineries in the area, found in Rueda the ideal place to make a white wine (not allowed in the D.O. Ribera del Duero) and chose La Seca (Valladolid), known as "the cradle of Verdejo."

It is one of the few wineries of the Denomination that elaborate rose, since most of the wineries turn into the production of red wines. After the harvest, bunches of grapes are stripped (separate the berries of the raspon or woody part of the cluster) and crushed to stay macerated with the mosto 16 hours, this maceration gives it its beautiful color and allows extracting all the aromas of the skins.
