Located not far from the prestigious Vega Sicilia estate, Dominio de Pingus joins the lineage of the biggest names in Spain with an international reputation.
After having studied in the Bordeaux region, in California and in Spain, it was in 1995 that the great Danish oenologist Peter Sisseck founded Dominio de Pingus. Sensing the extraordinary potential of the Ribera del Duero region, after extensive research and analysis of the terroir, Peter Sisseck identified different plots of old vines of Tinto Fino, the name of the local grape variety.
Dominio de Pingus was founded north of Madrid, in the province of Castilla y Leon, near Vallodolid. The old vines are planted on an exceptional terroir, near the Douro River.
Guided by the ambition to produce a great Spanish wine, inimitable and reflecting the expression of its terroir, Peter Sisseck has tirelessly invested himself in raising Dominio de Pingus to the rank of the most famous wine estates in the world.
Peter Sisseck wanted to bring out the best of the singular expression of Tinto Fino by highlighting its distinction from Tempranillo. The very old vines of Dominio de Pingus bear witness to the uniqueness of the Ribera del Duero region.
The greatest attention is paid to the vineyard. The vines of Dominio de Pingus are worked in the traditional way, respecting the system of low vines "en vaso." Yields are extremely low, ranging from 20 hl/ha to just 9 hl/ha. The exclusive production of Dominio de Pingus makes it one of the most sought-after wines in the world.
A true "cult wine," Pingus embodies the excellence of the Ribera del Duero in a magnificent vintage of power, finesse and complexity. A cuvée more accessible in its youth, Flor de Pingus reflects the expression of the terroir of Ribera del Duero and Tinto Fino in a powerful and elegant cru, combining harmony and balance.
