Description

Spain / Castile and León / Ribera del Duero

A Dane, who learned the winemaking craft in Bordeaux, makes wine in the rugged Ribera del Duero. And he makes an excellent wine. Robert Parker describes it as "one of the greatest and most exciting wines I have ever tasted." Peter Sisseck has been making wines in Spain since the mid-1990s. He is now considered a legendary winemaker, his wines are among the highest rated in the country - the availability of the wines is low and demand is high. Peter Sisseck's nickname is Pingus, and that's also the name of his great wine. Seventy-year-old vines, unusually low yields, extremely low production quantities, and a visionary winemaker combine to create one of the most sought-after wines in the world.

Dominio de Pingus

In the Ribera del Duero region of Spain, Dominio de Pingus is a name known to wine connoisseurs around the world. This boutique estate has earned its place among the elite producers of Spanish wine, and its rise to fame has been nothing short of remarkable.

Founded in the 1990s by visionary winemaker Peter Sisseck, Dominio de Pingus has consistently pushed the boundaries of what Spanish wine can achieve. Sisseck’s meticulous attention to detail and tireless pursuit of quality have produced some of the most coveted and highly rated wines in the world.

The estate’s icon is ‘Pingus’ itself. Made from Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) grapes from old vines grown in small, devotedly tended vineyards, Pingus embodies the essence of Ribera del Duero. With limited production and a cult following, acquiring a bottle of Pingus is a treasured experience for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Alongside Pingus, Dominio de Pingus also produces ‘Flor de Pingus’, a second wine that embodies the same commitment to excellence and is an excellent choice for wine lovers who want to discover the estate without paying the exclusive price of Pingus.

What sets Dominio de Pingus apart is not only its outstanding wines, but also its commitment to sustainable and traditional winemaking practices. The vineyards are cultivated with the utmost care according to organic and biodynamic principles, resulting in grapes of exceptional quality. The winemaking process combines modern technology with centuries-old knowledge, with a focus on minimal intervention to allow the grapes to express their unique terroir.

Dominio de Pingus is a testament to the power of vision, dedication and respect for the land. With its exceptional wines and commitment to sustainability, it has earned a place on the global wine map and is a must for anyone passionate about the world of fine wine.
