Dominio de Pingus is a Spanish winery located in Quintanilla de Onésimo in Valladolid province with vineyards in La Horra area of the Ribera del Duero region. The estate's flagship wine, Pingus, is considered a "cult wine", sold at extremely high prices while remaining very inaccessible,[1][2] and commands an average price of $811 per bottle.[3]
The winery also produces a second wine, Flor de Pingus, and a special cuvée, Ribera del Duero "Amelia". Recently, Dominio de Pingus has founded a joint project with local grape producers to make an old vine tempranillo called "PSI".
Dominio de Pingus was established in 1995 by Danish oenologist Peter Sisseck, also manager of the Pesquera de Duero estate Hacienda Monasterio.[4] On the estate's winemaking philosophies, Sisseck has stated, "The vines in my plots are very old. They have never been fertilised nor treated with pesticides and all grow following the traditional en vaso system. They are perfect."[4]
About the first 1995 vintage of Pingus, Robert Parker declared, "One of the greatest and most exciting wines I have ever tasted".[5] With a very limited first vintage production, only 325 cases were made with prices initially set at US$200 per bottle, it became yet more scarce when in November 1997 the ship transporting a U.S. bound shipment of 75 cases disappeared somewhere off the Azores in the North Atlantic Ocean.[6] The shipwreck resulted in a dramatic reaction in the US market, with prices soon rising to $495 per bottle.[5][6]
At the Ronda WineCreator conference of April 2008, Sisseck was angered by suggestions by Decanter editor Guy Woodward that some winemakers make wines to suit the palates of certain critics. In response he called Woodward's remarks arrogant for implying winemakers do not have their own opinions, adding, "I don't even think it is possible to do this."[7]
In 2007 it was announced that the Spanish government had approved plans to expand highway roads through the vineyards of Dominio de Pingus and other wineries, which was met with strong opposition by Sisseck who called it a "vengeful measure".[8]
Planted with very old vines of Tinto Fino, i.e. Tempranillo, the vineyards are 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) in Barrosso with vines exceeding 65 years and 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) in San Cristobal with vines older than 70 years, and the unusually low average yield of 12 hL per hectare. Since 2000, the viticulture has been biodynamic. Of the annual production of Pingus there is typically less than 500 cases, though in poor vintages no Pingus is made.
The production of the second wine Flor de Pingus, also 100% Tempranillo, is made with fruit from rented vineyards in the La Horra zone, with vines older than 35 years. Since the 2005 vintage, the viticulture has been biodynamic. The annual production is on average 4,000 cases.
Additionally there has been the single barrel cuvée, Ribera del Duero "Amelia", made from a vineyard parcel of 100+ year old vines with an average yield of 10 hL per hectare, with biodynamic viticulture since its initial 2003 vintage. The 2005 vintage had a production of 25 cases.
"PSI" is a joint project based on fruit produced by local grape growers from old tempranillo vines. The goal is to help grape producers and save old vines. Project was founded in 2006, first vintage was 2007. Grape growers are encouraged to employ biodynamic or organic vineyard management practices. The wine is made by Peter Sisseck and Pablo Rubio and sold under producer name Bodegas y Viñedos Alnardo. Vinification takes place in large concrete vats and aging in concrete and wooden tanks and oak barrels. Production of PSI 2009 was 9,600 cases, PSI 2010 was 16,600 cases.
坐上那朵离家的云霞
飘去无人知晓的天涯
背着妈妈说的那句话
孩子人生其实不复杂
喔眼泪轻轻地擦
别管那多嘴乌鸦
咽下那些风沙
你才能慢慢长大
要错过几个她
用你最好的年华
这是青春的代价
当离别开出花
伸出新长的枝桠
像冬去春又来
等待心雪融化
你每次离开家
带着远方的牵挂
那城市的繁华
盖住了月牙
当离别开出花
它生长在悬崖
在最高的山顶
才听得见回答
没什么好害怕
孩子放心去飞吧
在你的身后
有个等你的家
坐上那朵离家的云霞
飘去无人知晓的天涯
背着妈妈说的那句话
孩子人生其实不复杂
喔眼泪轻轻地擦
别忘那童年梦话
散在远方的花
也随风慢慢长大
要错过几个她
用你最真的年华
这是青春的回答
当离别开出花
伸出新长的枝桠
像冬去春又来
等待心雪融化
你每次离开家
带着远方的牵挂
那城市的繁华
盖住了月牙
当离别开出花
它生长在悬崖
在最高的山顶
才听得见回答
没什么好害怕
孩子放心去飞吧
在你的身后
有个等你的家
当离别开出花
它生长在悬崖
在最高的山顶
才听得见回答
没什么好害怕
孩子放心去飞吧
在你的身后
有个等你的家

屠苏：亦作“屠酥”，“屠苏”本来是一种阔叶草，南方民间风俗，有的房屋上画了屠苏草作为装饰，这种房屋就叫做“屠苏”。另一种说法是指屠苏酒，饮屠苏酒也是古代过年时的一种习俗，大年初一全家合饮这种用屠苏草浸泡的酒，以驱邪避瘟疫，求得长寿。
千门万户：形容门户众多，人口稠密。

不知道在那天边可会有尽头 只知道逝去光阴不会再回头 每一串泪水伴每一个梦想 不知不觉全溜走
不经意地在这圈中转到这年头 只感到在这圈中经过顺逆流 每颗冷酷眼光 到每声友善笑声 默然一一尝透
几多艰苦当天我默默接受 几多辛酸也未放手 故意挑剔今天我不在乎 只跟心中意愿去走
不相信未作牺牲就实现可以拥有 只相信始靠双手找到我要求 每一串汗水 换每一个成就 从来得失我睇透

不相信未作牺牲就实现可以拥有 只相信始靠双手找到我要求 每一串汗水 换每一个成就 从来得失我睇透
心里从不会强求
