Dominio de Pingus, D.O Ribera del Duero
Pingus was established in 1995 by Peter Sisseck, who had already made a name for himself as winemaker at Hacienda Monasterio. He located three separate plots, each containing very old vines of Tinto Fino, and established the winery. His aim was to produce "an unmistakably Spanish, terroir-driven wine... a garage wine."

Truffle-tobacco nose with sour cherry and fruit’n’nut tree aromatics, there’s gamey beast-hide, and a purple storm raining minerals. Fine and radiant, with cool blue fruits - powder-tannined, nutty-inky-and-mineral in the mouth, this is Ribera del Duero from on high. Majestic wine. |

This amazing wine is now showing the benefit of a decade's biodynamic vineyard work. Carefully managed to control exposure to oxygen and utilizing lees contact add texture, the wine is fermented in large wooden vats before maturation in 100% new French oak. We'd urge that it be kept and enjoyed, for it really is a remarkable, individual wine … and a far cry from the "made for Parker recipe wines” that are so often at this level – all extract, oak and sugar but devoid of finesse or individuality! |
