Dominio de PINGUS
Pingus

Histoire étonnante que celle de Dominio de Pingus. Crée en 1995 par Peter Sisseck, danois (!), ce domaine à quelques km de Vega Sicilia est devenu cultissime en moins de 15 ans.

Pingus est le grand vin, issu des 4 ha du domaine, 100% tempranillo âgés de 70 ans, en biodynamie depuis 2000. 450 caisses par an (soit un rendement moyen de 10hl/ha, sans compter les petits millésimes, comme le 2002, totalement déclassés en Flor de Pingus).

Wine Advocate : 98-100/100 « Tasting a new vintage of Pingus for the rst time is a special moment, and the 2022 Pingus shows the gentler prole of the vintage —it's perfumed, fruit-driven and peachy, with perfume and elegance. Peter Sisseck told me that it's his favorite vintage, because it's more the idea he has for this wine. He compared it to 2000 and 1996. This aged exclusively in barrel; some vintages age for a while in 2,000- and 1,500-liter oak foudres, which was the case for the 2021, 2020 and 2018 but not in 2022. "I liked the evolution of the wine in barrel so much that I left it there the whole time," Sisseck explained. It's young and tender, ripe and juicy, with some spicy notes but with very good freshness and balance. »
