2023 Pingus ‘Flor de Pingus’ Ribera del Duero

VIN94-95 The 2023 Flor de Pingus is made from over 20 hectares of old Tinta del Pais vines and 15 hectares of Garnacha in Ribera del Duero. It was aged in 10-15% new oak. Violets, fresh plum and a delicate touch of oak open on the nose. Fine-grained reactive tannins define the texture. A red with charming nuances and evolving character.

WA93-94 The 2023 Flor de Pingus is pretty, juicy, ripe and approachable, less serious than the 2022. It’s all really balanced and integrated and has good purity. The wine spent eight months in oak barrels, and in 2023, they introduced six 2,000-liter oak vats for the élevage of part of the wine, which represents around 15% of the volume, where it matured for 12 months. It’s an approachable vintage of Flor. All in all, the élevage was a little shorter this year. This should be bottled starting in early May 2025. The expected volume is around 92,000 bottles.
