Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus 2012

Flor de Pingus 2012 is a cellar-release Tempranillo from one of Ribera del Duero’s most admired names, offering the kind of freshness, precision, and pedigree that serious wine lovers look for. Sourced from old vines in La Horra and released directly from the producer’s cellar, it combines concentrated fruit with remarkable elegance and authenticity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby core with garnet reflections at the rim. The nose is expressive and layered, with dark cherry, blackberry, toasted wood, mocha, and a subtle smoky edge. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and full-bodied, yet polished and balanced, with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity, and a warm, complex mid-palate. The finish is long and persistent, leaving dark fruit, spice, mineral notes, and a gentle touch of vanilla from the oak. It has excellent aging potential and should continue to develop nuance over the coming years.

Production
Flor de Pingus 2012 comes from old Tempranillo vines in La Horra, in the heart of Ribera del Duero, where warm sunny days and cool nights in 2012 helped preserve freshness alongside ripe fruit. The vines naturally yield low quantities, and the fruit is handled with a precise, restrained approach that respects the character of the grape. The wine was matured for around 14 to 18 months in a combination of new French oak and seasoned barrels previously used for Flor de Pingus and Pingus. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrel, helping to build texture and integration while preserving elegance and avoiding excessive oak influence.

Food & Serving
This is a natural partner for roast lamb, grilled ribeye, Iberian pork, game birds, and rich mushroom dishes. It also works beautifully with aged Manchego or other firm mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for about 1–2 hours if drinking now to allow the wine to open fully.

Producer
Dominio de Pingus, founded by Danish winemaker Peter Sisseck, has become one of Spain’s most celebrated producers and a benchmark for modern Ribera del Duero. Known for its meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and highly limited production, the estate has earned an international reputation for wines of exceptional concentration, purity, and finesse.
