2023 Dominio de Pingus "Flor de Pingus," Ribera del Duero - 750ML

Score: Not yet widely published for the 2023 vintage at time of writing

Flor de Pingus represents the second wine of Peter Sisseck’s revered Dominio de Pingus, drawn from carefully selected old-vine Tempranillo parcels across Ribera del Duero. In 2023, a vintage shaped by balanced ripening conditions, the wine shows a poised, more classical profile—leaning toward freshness and precision rather than sheer power, while maintaining the estate’s hallmark purity.

Blend: Predominantly Tempranillo (Tinto Fino)
Tasting Notes: Aromas of ripe black cherry, wild blackberry, and crushed violets unfold alongside subtle graphite, cedar, and earthy undertones. The palate is finely tuned, offering layered dark fruit, mineral tension, and gentle spice, with a refined oak influence that frames rather than dominates.
Structure: Elegant and balanced; medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity
Drink Window: 2026–2038

Decanting:
Recommended to decant for 1–2 hours in its youth to allow aromatic complexity to emerge and tannins to soften.

Flor de Pingus 2023 captures the estate’s disciplined approach to viticulture and winemaking, offering a more accessible yet still serious expression of Ribera del Duero terroir. It is a compelling addition for collectors seeking the Pingus signature in a form that balances early approachability with mid-term cellaring potential.
