Dominio de Pingus, Ribera del Duero2021

Dominio de Pingus 2021 is one of Ribera del Duero’s most sought-after and distinctive red wines, crafted by Danish-born winemaker Peter Sisseck. Produced from old vineyard parcels around La Horra and Barroso, it combines remarkable concentration with freshness, precision, and an elegant sense of balance. Since its first vintage in 1995, Pingus has become an international benchmark for fine Spanish wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep, opaque ruby colour. Its expressive bouquet opens with ripe black fruit, followed by graphite, subtle spice, and a refined mineral character. On the palate, it is powerful yet composed, with dense fruit, polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and impressive depth. The finish is long, layered, and persistent, revealing the wine’s balance between richness and finesse. The 2021 vintage has the structure and concentration to develop beautifully in bottle. Although approachable with sufficient aeration, it should gain further complexity and integration over many years, with the potential to mature gracefully for well over a decade under proper cellaring conditions.

Production
The grapes come from old vineyards in the La Horra and Barroso areas of Ribera del Duero, where calcareous clay soils contribute both power and mineral freshness. Peter Sisseck works with these historic parcels using a low-intervention approach. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in a combination of wood and concrete, followed by maturation in French oak barrels, partly new. The élevage is carefully managed to emphasise texture, balance, and the character of the vineyards rather than overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C after allowing the wine to come gradually to temperature. Decanting for approximately one to two hours is recommended when drinking it young, helping to open its layered aromas and soften the youthful structure. Its depth makes it a natural partner for roasted or braised lamb, beef tenderloin, wild game, slow-cooked beef cheeks, and richly flavoured mushroom dishes. Mature hard cheeses also make an excellent match.

Producer
Dominio de Pingus was founded by Peter Sisseck in Ribera del Duero, with the first vintage released in 1995. Based around some of the region’s finest old-vine parcels near La Horra, the estate has earned an almost legendary reputation for producing highly individual, limited-volume wines with exceptional longevity. Its focus on old vineyards, native fermentation, minimal intervention, and meticulous élevage has made Pingus one of Spain’s most internationally recognised fine-wine producers.
