Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus 2018 is a concentrated Tempranillo sourced from old vines in La Horra, Ribera del Duero. It was aged in 20% new French oak, resulting in a profile of black fruit, violets and graphite with well-integrated tannins. This bottling represents Peter Sisseck’s move toward a more refined and transparent style, avoiding over-extraction while maintaining the estate’s signature depth and structural integrity. The palate is dense yet fluid, offering a persistent mineral finish that highlights the limestone-influenced soils. It is a benchmark for modern Spanish winemaking, showing great precision and substantial ageing potential. The 2018 is available here in magnum.
