Dominio de Pingus - Ribera del Duero - PSI - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

Made from old vines of Tempranillo, Grenache, and other endemic varieties selected from the coolest terroirs of the appellation, vinified in the new winery, the 2020 red Ribera del Duero PSI is part of an ambitious project to safeguard our varietal heritage, conveying the depth and complexity of these wild terroirs with unparalleled energy and complexity. Indigenous yeasts, organic farming, and vinification in large wooden containers and French oak barrels are the prerequisites of this sought-after wine, which is made exclusively from old vines on more than 7,000 parcels. With its floral notes, this bottle of great elegance stands out for its fresh and refined character. It is undoubtedly the wine that best accommodates the sunny character of the vintage, thanks to its limestone terroir, which preserves its precious freshness, and the 10% Grenache that eases the tempranillo, a triumph of control!

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 legend.

Having become one of the greatest wines in the world, the first Rioja rated 100/100 by Parker, Pingus has not ceased to act as a beacon, leading in its wake the whole revival of the Iberian Peninsula.
