Protocolo is the Eguren family's calling card for everyday drinking — a wine designed to be opened without ceremony and enjoyed thoroughly. Made from Tempranillo grown across La Mancha, Spain's vast central plateau, it delivers exactly what it promises: fresh red fruit, soft tannins, and a dry, earthy finish that makes it enormously food-friendly. The 2024 vintage is youthful and vibrant, with no oak getting in the way of the grape's natural charm. The Egurensi are one of Spain's great wine dynasties, responsible for some of Rioja's most celebrated bottles, and Protocolo is their proof that serious winemaking doesn't have to mean serious prices.
