Dominio De Pingus Flor De Pingus 2013

Dominio de Pingus – Flor de Pingus 2013
🇪🇸 Spain – Ribera del Duero DO

Producer:

Peter Sisseck – Danish winemaker with legendary status in Spain.
Flor de Pingus is the second wine to the iconic and very rare Pingus, but stands strong on its own and is often considered a "first wine in disguise" .

Grape:

100% Tempranillo (locally called Tinto Fino)

The grapes come from 35–50 year old vines grown organically and with low yields for maximum concentration.

Style and vintage character:

2013 was a relatively cool and uneven year in Ribera del Duero, but Peter Sisseck's precise approach has created a wine with remarkable freshness and elegance for the area.

Fragrance:

Dense and intense nose of ripe dark berries, especially blackberries and blackcurrants

Nuances of licorice, spices, violet and a discreet hint of oak and vanilla

Mineral background and beginning tertiary notes (leather, earth)

Taste:

Full-bodied and concentrated with juicy dark fruit and firm, ripe tannins

Great balance between fruit, acidity and palate

Long and persistent finish with freshness and structure

2013 is a vintage that is now mature and harmonious, but still has many years ahead of it.

Storage:

Aged for approximately 14–18 months in French oak barrels (some new)

Subsequent bottle aging before release

Facts:

Alcohol: Approximately 14.5%

Classification: Ribera del Duero DO

Produced in limited quantities and with strict sorting

Food match:

Long-time braised lamb, venison, beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce

Hearty stews and mature cheeses

In short:

Flor de Pingus 2013 combines power and finesse in a masterful way. A great wine in its own right – with depth, balance and great aging potential. If Pingus is the myth, Flor de Pingus is the wine you actually get to drink – and it certainly doesn’t disappoint.
