Discover the Legend of Dominio de Pingus
The Birth of a Wine Legend
Founded in 1995 by Peter Sisseck, a Dane who studied in Bordeaux, then California, before starting his career in 1990 at the Hacienda Monasterio in Ribera del Duero, Dominio de Pingus owes its legendary status to him alone. The legend, that is, of one of the greatest wines in Spain, if not indeed the greatest.
Pioneering Perfectionism and Biodynamics
The history of Dominio de Pingus starts in 1995 with a first vintage created in a garage... Peter Sisseck, nicknamed “Pingus” by his uncle in Denmark, decided to give it the same name, and the legend was born almost immediately with the chance discovery of the wine by the famous Robert Parker, who declared that it was, without a doubt, one of the finest wines in Spain. Peter Sisseck owes this celebrity to his keen perfectionism, his intransigence, his respect for old-fashioned methods and his work in line with the principles of biodynamics, which make his wines some of the best-made in Ribera del Duero. Robert Parker even employed a staggering score of 100 points - perfection itself - to qualify the exceptional work and unprecedented quality achieved by Dominio de Pingus.
A Diverse Portfolio Beyond Pingus
In addition to his prestigious Pingus wine, Peter Sisseck also makes three other wines: PSI, Amelia and Flor de Pingus—the most excellent yet more affordable option—serving as little brother to its less accessible counterpart. This collection showcases not only quality but also accessibility for those looking to experience what this legendary Spanish winery has to offer.
