Vinous

The 2022 Pingus confirms the potential of this exceptional vineyard in Ribera del Duero. From a slightly structured vintage, the old vines compensate with elegance. Aromas of precise plum, a touch of cedar, black cherry and delicate underbrush unfold, followed by blood orange peel. The palate delivers pure cherry with chalky tannins and a vibrant core that activates with finesse. Deep and expressive, the fruit-driven length and subtle grip speak to its fine balance. Pingus remains a benchmark for the elegant Ribera.

Great winemakers - and vineyards – often come into their own in challenging vintages. Even Peter Sisseck was "surprised that I could make such a wine in 2022". Sourced from a four hectare parcel that was established in 1929, it's a nuanced, layered, medium-bodied Pingus with no new oak interference, succulent bramble and red berry flavours, a ferrous undertone, plenty of acidity, fine-boned tannins and a vibrant finish. Almost drinkable now, but will develop further magic in bottle.

Drink Date: 2026 – 2040 | Tasting a new vintage of Pingus for the first time is a special moment, and the 2022 Pingus shows the gentler profile of the vintage—it's perfumed, fruit-driven and peachy, with perfume and elegance. Peter Sisseck told me that it's his favorite vintage, because it's more the idea he has for this wine. He compared it to 2000 ("a vintage under the radar," he told me) and 1996. This aged exclusively in barrel; some vintages age for a while in 2,000- and 1,500-liter oak foudres, which was the case for the 2021, 2020 and 2018 but not in 2022. "I liked the evolution of the wine in barrel so much that I left it there the whole time," Sisseck explained. It's young and tender, ripe and juicy, with some spicy notes but with very good freshness and balance. There will be some 7,500 bottles of Pingus, and they expect to bottle it in June/July 2024.
