PINGUS

PingusPingus, a new and immensely successful winery in the Ribera del Duero region of northern Spain, has produced astonishing results, and attained a prestigious reputation, in a very short period of time. Run by the young, Danish winemaker, Peter Sisseck, yields are kept incredibly low to ensure quality and purity of fruit, resulting in extremely concentrated wines, with a miniscule allocation to match.

The wine is made with fruit from ancient tempranillo vines, originating from a small, 2.5 hectare, plot in Barosso and an even smaller, 1.5 hectare, plot in San Cristobal. Since 2000, biodynamic viticulture has been applied to the vines and resulting in even smaller yields. Only 500 cases of the first wine are made in a typical vintage and 4,000 cases of the second wine. The single-barrel cuvee, Amelia, is made from a parcel of one-hundred year old vines and the 2005 vintage produced enough wine to fill 300 bottles.

The 2004 Pingus has achieved a perfect 100 score from Robert Parker, who has described the wine as "offering everything". Indeed, no Pingus wine this century has scored below 95 points!
