Introduction:
The 2023 Dominio de Eguren Protocolo Tinto is a vibrant and approachable Spanish red, crafted to showcase juicy fruit, freshness, and easy drinkability. Produced by the Eguren family—renowned for both Rioja classics and value-driven wines—this Tempranillo is a perfect everyday expression of Spain’s central plateau.

Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards in Manchuela and La Mancha within the Tierra de Castilla designation, planted at elevations of around 700–800 meters. The sandy-clay and limestone soils, combined with extreme continental climate (hot summers, cold winters, wide diurnal shifts), provide ripe fruit while retaining acidity and balance.

Appearance:
Bright ruby with purple hues—fresh, youthful, and lively.

Nose:
Aromatic and fruit-forward, offering red cherry, raspberry, and plum alongside subtle floral notes, a touch of spice, and a hint of earth.

Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied, bursting with red fruit flavors—fresh berries and cherry—balanced by smooth tannins and vibrant acidity. Its texture is soft and supple, making it easy to enjoy without heaviness.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with lingering red fruit and a touch of spice that keeps the palate lively.

Overall Impression:
The 2023 Protocolo Tinto is a joyful and uncomplicated expression of Tempranillo—bright fruit, silky texture, and refreshing acidity all working in harmony. Designed for immediate enjoyment, it’s versatile and food-friendly, pairing beautifully with tapas, charcuterie, pizza, or simple grilled dishes. A perfect introduction to everyday Spanish reds that over-delivers on value.
