First made in 1995, it immediately developed a cult status following rave reviews from Robert Parker in the Wine Advocate, and is now regarded as one of the greatest wines made in Spain, hotly sought-after and priced accordingly. The Tempranillo-based wine is known for its density, concentrated black fruit and mineral backbone. The Pingus estate consists of several small parcels of old vines in various locations with average vine age exceeding 65 years. The top wine comes from two vineyards planted in 1929 which total 4.5 hectares (11 acres). One is on gravel and sand over chalky subsoils, and the other is mostly clay. Yields are tiny at around two tonnes per hectare (under one ton per acre). Pingus is fermented in 2000l vats prior to aging in oak barriques – duration and percentage of new oak can vary year by year. Production is only around 6600 bottles annually. This is one tenth of the production of the junior estate wine Flor de Pingus. This wine is made from 16 different vineyard lots, vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged for slightly shorter periods in barriques. Pingus also produces PSI, a more classic Ribero del Duero, which is aged in cement and large wooden vats with minimal barrique usage. Grapes come from selected local growers, who have been encouraged to implement biodynamic vineyards, and are paid according to quality in an arrangement similar to a cooperative. The estate was founded by Peter Sisseck, a Danish oenologist who previously had hailed from Bordeaux. The inaugural vinatge remains to this day as the pinnacle wine released from the estate.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-02-05T14:20:04-05:00","created_at":"2024-02-01T09:32:33-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Spain","NK310124","Other_Wine","Producer_Dominio de Pingus","Region_Ribera del Duero","Source_Hedonism0124","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Tempranillo"],"price":18710000,"price_min":18710000,"price_max":18710000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44260264575114,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2012 | Dominio de Pingus | Flor de Pingus","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":18710000,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/2_a09e48dc-f1a5-4476-be4d-c4bfb0b66ef1.jpg?v=1706797975"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/2_a09e48dc-f1a5-4476-be4d-c4bfb0b66ef1.jpg?v=1706797975","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2012 | Dominio de Pingus | Flor de Pingus at CaskCartel.com","id":26043362902154,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/2_a09e48dc-f1a5-4476-be4d-c4bfb0b66ef1.jpg?v=1706797975"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/2_a09e48dc-f1a5-4476-be4d-c4bfb0b66ef1.jpg?v=1706797975","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2012 | Dominio de Pingus | Flor de Pingus\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012 vintage presents enticing aromas of blackcurrant, sweet vanilla, marzipan, cedarwood, and a subtle touch of menthol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominio de Pingus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Tempranillo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Spain, Ribera del Duero\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012 vintage presents enticing aromas of blackcurrant, sweet vanilla, marzipan, cedarwood, and a subtle touch of menthol.
