Dominio de Pingus is a well-known and reputable winery, not only in Ribera del Duero but worldwide as well. With its flagship wine, Pingus, often cited as Ribera del Duero Spain’s best red, whenever excellent wines are addressed, it has enjoyed enormous success internationally. This relatively small state has become a top address in the area thanks to the efforts of the well-known and acclaimed Danish winemaker Peter Sisseck, who is also the winemaker for Hacienda Monasterio and PSI.
The winery was founded in 1995 and is located 30 km from Roa in the province of Burgos. It is an artisan winery with a very small production, which allows for extra carefulness in the final quality of its products. Since 2001, biodynamic viticulture has been employed to achieve a healthier balance in the vineyards.
