Flor de Pingus 2001

Flor de Pingus 2001 is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Ribera del Duero appellation of Spain. Pingus was established by the trailblazing Peter Sisseck in 1995 and has become one of the great names in terroir-focused Spanish wine. Flor de Pingus is the second wine of the estate and is produced from 100% old-vine Tinto Fino (Tempranillo). Made from extremely low-yielding bush vines, this is a wine with unique concentration, balance and length. The perfect harmony of ripe fruit, beautifully integrated tannins and elegant floral complexity. "Barely a step down from the more rare and pricey Pingus, the ’01 Flor should fly off store shelves and restaurant wine lists. It’s that good, starting with the intoxicating nose and moving through the pure palate and onto the marvellous finish. A wine that goes all the way, with spice, leather and mounds of rich, ripe fruit." Wine Enthusiast, 2005
