Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pingus shows great elegance and is subtle, austere and nuanced. The old vines planted in 1929 have very deep roots, and those vines cushion the effect of the vintage (which is more noticeable in the Flor de Pingus, for example). It's harmonious, precise, clean and pure, with very integrated oak. The tannins are amazing and super fine, which gives the wine a velvety mouthfeel. There should be around 8,200 bottles; and the expectation today is to bottle it around May/June 2023, but things can still happen...

Description
Pingus is a red wine of great international prestige, made in Ribera del Duero by Peter Sisseck at the Dominio de Pingus winery. This wine has achieved recognition due to its exceptional quality, being frequently valued with the highest scores by critics such as Robert Parker and James Suckling. It is made from 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), an emblematic variety of the region.
The vineyards, located in La Horra, have old vines planted in 1929, spread over 4 hectares and are certified organic and biodynamic. These vines grow in different soils: gravel and sand on clay and lime in Barroso, and clay soils in San Cristóbal, at an altitude of between 800 and 837 metres. The climate is continental, with cold winters and hot summers, which favours the production of highly concentrated grapes.
Winemaking
Pingus is fermented with 30% whole clusters and indigenous yeasts in large vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. Ageing takes place in 225-litre oak barrels, and bottling is carried out after a meticulous daily tasting process to guarantee maximum quality.
Taste
Pingus stands out for its aromatic profile and its great structure. On the nose, it presents floral aromas such as violet, accompanied by notes of black fruits such as plum and cherry, as well as subtle spices. On the palate, it is an elegant and complex wine, with a silky texture and very fine tannins. The finish is long and lingering, with a chalky freshness that gives it great balance. It is recommended for consumption after prolonged ageing in bottle, reaching its maximum expression several years after bottling.
