Description

Created by winemaker Peter Sisseck at Dominio de Pingus, Flor de Pingus 2022 represents a top-level Ribera del Duero with a focus on both power and finesse. Cultivated on old vines, typically 35-60 years old, which contribute great intensity and concentration. The vinification and maturation are meticulous – fermentation takes place in steel tanks or large wooden barrels, followed by aging for around 14 months in French oak barrels (a mix of new and used) to preserve the character of the grape and the minerality of the terroir.

Smell & Taste

Aroma: Intense and complex with notes of sun-ripened cherries, plums, violets, slate/minerality and a touch of graphite and licorice.

Taste: Full-bodied and well-balanced – dark fruit, delicate spice, structured tannins and a firm minerality. The finish is long and elegant.

Serving & Food Match

Serving temperature: 16-18 °C, preferably decanted to open up the aromas.

Food match: Suitable for hearty dishes such as grilled beef, lamb, game, or mature cheeses - a wine that tolerates both flavor and structure.

Storage potential

Flor de Pingus 2022 is rich and concentrated – it is already in good drinkable form, but has the potential to develop over 10-15 years or more, where fruit and minerality can mature further and the tannins soften.

A clear recommendation for wine lovers looking for a top-class Spanish red wine with international class and terroir-accurate style.
