PINGUS IS EEN TOPWIJN UIT RIBERA DEL DUERO

Peter Sisseck, van oorsprong een Deen is de maker van Pingus. De naam van het domein: Dominio de Pingus. 'Pingus' was zijn bijnaam in Denemarken.
De wijn van Dominio de Pingus is afkomstig van oude wijnstokken en er wordt biodynamisch gewerkt. De laatste jaren ligt de nadruk steeds minder op houtrijping en wordt er gebruik gemaakt van twee jaar oude vaten in plaats van nieuwe. 
Pingus 2016 is vanaf 2020 of dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2035 nog verder ontwikkelen.

The Wine Advocate:

Rating (98 - 100)
"I tasted an unbottled sample of the 2016 Pingus, which is still in barrel and due for bottling in August 2018. The different barrels had already been blended and put into the same barrels after the last racking three days before I encountered it. It has all the baby fat and is tender and primary, but you can sense the harmony and subtleness, the freshness and elegance it should develop, as the Ribera perfume is already incipient there. I couldn't help but think of the 1996, one of my favorite years. It's less concentrated than the 2015. It's also a little less ripe, and it probably has a tad less alcohol and more power. It's solid, but at the same time, it feels weightless; it has the inner strength and the subtleness of a ballerina. There should be some 7,000 bottles of this. This 21st vintage of Pingus might be one of the best ever, a modern version of the 1996...

I tasted the bottled 2015s, the about-to-be-bottled 2016s and some barrel samples of the 2017s with Peter Sisseck. 2016 could be the modern version of 1996, and in 2015, a warmer vintage that could have turned into something similar to 2011, the wines have great freshness and are closer to 2010 than 2011, even if the years are completely different. 2015 Pingus is terrific and 2016 Pingus can be another legend in the making..."
