"Peter Sisseck himself declares this vintage of Pingus to be his favorite: an unforgettable tasting moment for one of the world's finest wines!"
"Tasting a new vintage of Pingus for the first time is a special moment, and Pingus 2022 shows the sweeter profile of the vintage - it's fragrant, fruity and peachy, with perfume and elegance. Peter Sisseck told me that this is his favorite vintage, because it's more in line with his idea of the wine. He compared it to 2000 ("an under-the-radar vintage", he told me) and 1996. The latter aged exclusively in barrique; some vintages age for a time in 2,000- and 1,500-liter oak foudres, which was the case for the 2021, 2020 and 2018, but not for the 2022. "I liked the evolution of the wine in the barrel so much that I left it there the whole time," explains Mr.Sisseck. It's young and tender, ripe and juicy, with some spicy notes, but with very good freshness and balance. [...] 2026-2040" (Wine Advocate 2024) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

About the wine:
Pingus 2022 confirms the potential of this exceptional vineyard in Ribera del Duero. From a slightly structured vintage, the old vines compensate with their elegance. Precise aromas of plum, a touch of cedar, black cherry, and delicate undergrowth unfold, followed by blood orange peel. The palate offers pure cherry with chalky tannins and a vibrant core that activates with finesse. Deep and expressive, the fruity length and subtle grip testify to its beautiful balance. Pingus remains a benchmark for the elegant Ribera. 2025-2050
