Spec sheet
The wine
What does this wine taste like?
In the glass, it has a deep cherry red colour, with a high rim and clean brightness.
The nose is intense and precise. Aromas of ripe black fruit, cherry and plum appear, accompanied by subtle floral notes, fine spices and mineral hints. The wood is perfectly integrated.
On the palate, it is broad and enveloping. It has firm but polished tannins, balanced acidity and a silky texture. The concentration is remarkable, but it maintains its freshness.
The finish is long and persistent, with hints of fruit, spices and a mineral background that adds depth.
It is a structured, elegant wine with great complexity.

Winemaking
Pingus is made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes sourced from carefully selected plots in Ribera del Duero.
Fermentation is carried out with great care, seeking precise extraction and respect for the fruit. Ageing takes place in oak barrels, where the wine gains complexity and structure.
Production is limited, and each vintage is crafted with the utmost attention to detail. Large volumes are not produced, which reinforces its exclusive character.

Vineyards
Barroso y San Cristóbal
The grapes come from vineyards located in Ribera del Duero, in the province of Burgos.
They are old vines, planted in soils characteristic of the area, which give the wine concentration and mineral character.
The continental climate, with cold winters and dry summers, favours the balanced ripening of Tempranillo.
The philosophy behind the work in the vineyard focuses on the careful selection of plots and respect for the expression of the terroir.
