Viniou: the app that makes managing your wine cellar easy!
The Dominio de Pingus Cuvée Flor de Pingus is a captivating non-vintage red wine from the esteemed Ribera del Duero appellation in the Castile and León region of Spain. This biodynamically produced wine is renowned for its rich and intense character, primarily made from the Tempranillo grape, known locally as Tinto Fino. The estate of Dominio de Pingus has achieved a near-mythical status among wine enthusiasts, with its meticulous attention to detail in both vineyard management and vinification processes, resulting in wines of remarkable depth and complexity, even in its Flor de Pingus cuvée.
The Castile and León region is one of Spain’s most prestigious wine-producing areas, benefiting from a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, a dramatic diurnal temperature variation that contributes to the development of complex flavours in the grapes. The Ribera del Duero appellation is distinguished by its high altitude and varied terroirs, with chalky, sandy, and clay-limestone soils that impart distinct minerality and power to the wines produced here. The history of winemaking in this region goes back centuries, with Ribera del Duero achieving Denominación de Origen (DO) status in the 1980s and quickly gaining recognition for its high-quality wines, especially those based on Tempranillo.
This robust red pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes. Consider serving it alongside roasted lamb, a classic regional match, or with grilled meats and game dishes, which complement its bold flavours and structure. Spanish dishes such as a succulent cochinillo (suckling pig) or morcilla (blood sausage) would also be excellent companions, offering a nod to its origins.
For the optimal tasting experience, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. This will allow its complex flavour profile to shine, unveiling layers of ripe black fruit, spice, and subtle minerality, while the rich tannins and balanced acidity provide a pleasing texture on the palate. Allowing it to decant for an hour prior to serving can also enhance its aromatic complexity and depth.
