Bodegas Protos – a story that began in 1927. Eleven friends, who had known each other since childhood, joined forces to preserve their families' winemaking tradition. Their dream: not only to produce great wines, but also to put the Ribera del Duero region back on the world's radar. Today, the cooperative is owned by over 250 families – many in their third generation. They draw on the knowledge of their ancestors while keeping a forward-looking perspective. A team of eight oenologists and eight engineers works under the leadership of Marilena Bonilla. The result: Spain's most visited winery in Ribera del Duero (40,000 visitors annually) and the one with the most Twitter followers. Ribera del Duero, as it truly is.

Bodegas Protos –
Ribera del Duero since 1927
Bodegas Protos was founded in 1927, when eleven friends decided not to let their families' winemaking tradition be forgotten. Their goal was not just to produce good wine – they wanted to put the entire Ribera del Duero region back on the map. Today, the cooperative includes over 250 families, many of them already in the third generation.
The winery is led by oenologist Marilena Bonilla, who works together with a team of eight oenologists and eight engineers. The craft of the ancestors meets modern cellar technology here – without one displacing the other. The wines are made from Tempranillo vines that ripen particularly slowly at the high altitude of the Duero Valley, thereby developing structure and depth.
With around 40,000 visitors annually, Protos is the most visited winery in the region – a sign that the history of 1927 has remained alive to this day. Those who drink the wines from Protos are drinking Ribera del Duero as it understands itself: grounded, full of character, with an eye to the future.
