Why buy Discontinued Wine Pingus 2017

Pingus 2017 is a Denomination of Origin Ribera del Duero, made under the precepts of biodynamics by Peter Sisseck. It has aged in new French oak barrels for 23 months, forming and acquiring all the aromas that make up this premium wine.

This wine, which achieved a score of 96 points on the Parker scale, is born from the 4.2 hectares of tinto fino planted in 1929, in Barroso and San Cristóbal. The former is characterised by its gravel and sandy soils, which hide a subsoil of clay and lime.

San Cristóbal, on the other hand, is a hillside of clayey soil facing southwest. Pingus 2017 brings with it all the essence of these extraordinary lands, which, for years, have been giving us wines of the highest quality.

The Pingus 2017 vintage will go down in history for the heavy frost that took place in April, in addition to the winter drought, which made the vines struggle to recover in order to give us the best grapes. As a result, a very concentrated, intense and complex wine that will continue to surprise you sip after sip.

It is perfect to drink with red meats. Ideally, it should be served in a glass at a temperature of between 16 and 18 ºC, in order to appreciate all the flavour and aromas of Pingus 2017 as it deserves.

A little bit of history about Pingus 2017...

Pingus was born in 1995 as a result of the enthusiasm of Peter Sisseck, a wine lover who, since the first year of Pingus, has turned it into a cult wine. He makes his wines with red fino grapes almost 100 years old, from the Barroso, San Cristóbal and Santa Cruz vineyards.

Pingus, the name of his wines, was chosen in honour of how his acquaintances affectionately referred to him as a child.
