The estate and the wine |
|
|
A brilliant oenologist, Peter Sisseck - nicknamed Pingus! - has revolutionized the Spanish wine industry. He created Dominio de Pingus in the 1990s, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero, to bring forward all the potential of very old Tempranillo vines.
Organic and biodynamic agriculture, vines that are almost a century old, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, luxurious aging in oak barrels, prized terroirs, and endemic grape varieties... Everything contributes to the uniqueness of this iconic wine, which has been elevated to the rank of a full-fledged vintage.
Having become one of the world's greatest wines, rated 100/100 by Parker on many occasions and notably on the 2018 vintage that we are honored to present to you today, Pingus has never ceased to act as a pioneer in the area, dragging in its wake the entire renewal of the Iberian Peninsula. |

Pingus' little brother, the 2018 Red Ribera del Duero Flor de Pingus is a concentration of the estate's savoir-faire and takes on the genius of its elder brother. It is made from old vines from five carefully selected areas of the Pingus terroir. The careful aging in French oak barrels for 18 months, with a quarter of new wood, propels the wine into a higher dimension. The ultra-silky tannins, the concentrated and racy structure give way to pure, whole, and frank flavors of fruit, and a lot of freshness. It has all the power of a great wine, with a lot of class and smoothness. A sort of "mini Pingus", which will give you a glimpse of what makes that wine such an icon. Rated 94+/100 Parker. |
