Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus 2022

Flor de Pingus 2022 is one of the standout value wines from Dominio de Pingus, offering a remarkable glimpse into the philosophy behind the iconic Pingus estate. Made from mature Tempranillo vines around 60 years old and crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail, it combines generosity, minerality, and elegance in a way that far exceeds its category.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, with a vibrant, polished look that hints at both ripeness and freshness. The nose opens with ripe plums, violets, wild herbs, and warming spice from oak, alongside a subtle mineral edge that gives the wine lift and definition. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, yet far from heavy. Juicy dark fruit, spicy oak, and savory herbal notes are balanced by a salty, mineral backbone that keeps the tannins discreet and the finish lively. While already approachable, it should also develop beautifully over the next 8–12 years, gaining further complexity and harmony with time.

Production
The fruit comes from partly leased vineyards near Barrosso and San Cristóbal in Castilla y León, planted with old-vine Tempranillo rooted deeply in mineral soils. These mature vines are able to withstand the dry summer months with ease, drawing on winter rainfall stored in the subsoil and contributing intensity, structure, and a marked sense of place. The grapes are fermented with a portion of whole clusters in 2,000-liter oak vats, with much of the process left to nature. The wine is then aged for 14 months in a combination of around 30% new French oak and used French barrels that have previously held Flor de Pingus and Pingus, before being bottled in June without fining or filtration.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted lamb, grilled beef, game, braised short ribs, and hearty dishes with herbs or earthy components such as mushrooms and root vegetables. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young, to allow the aromatics and texture to fully unfold.

Producer
Dominio de Pingus was founded by Peter Sisseck, the Danish-born winemaker whose work helped put Ribera del Duero on the global fine-wine map. The estate is celebrated for its meticulous vineyard work, low-intervention winemaking, and an uncompromising focus on quality. Alongside the legendary Pingus cuvée, Flor de Pingus has earned a strong reputation as one of the region’s most sought-after and respected wines.
