Ribera del Duero DO Flor de Pingus 2022

Flor de Pingus from the Dominio de Pingus winery is an elegant red wine from Ribera del Duero, made only from Tempranillo grapes grown on 25-50 year old vineyards. Vinification is carried out using only indigenous yeasts to respect the authenticity of the terroir. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 4,000-litre stainless steel tanks followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. This process preserves the freshness and fruity expression of the grapes. The wine matures for a period of 16-18 months in French oak barriques, of which approximately 20% are new and the remaining 80% second and third passage. This ageing in wood helps to develop the aromatic complexity of the wine by adding spicy notes and a velvety structure. The ageing process takes place naturally without the use of oenological aids to maintain the integrity and authenticity of the final product. This combination of traditional practices and attention to detail allows Flor de Pingus to best express the unique characteristics of the Ribera del Duero terroir, offering a refined and complex sensory experience.
