FLOR DE PINGUS

£97.95

95% Tempranillo and 5% Garnacha, coplanted. Bright, succulent red berry and cherry fruit, with sweet spices – a wine of flair, lifted by fresh acidity. Crunchy, grippy tannins make themselves felt on the finish. As Peter said when we tasted this together, it flows beautifully.

Flor is an extension of the Pingus approach. It comes from 35 hectares owned by the estate, plus another seven hectares in long-term leases, dotted around the village of La Horra. Unlike Pingus, Peter says around 20% new oak helps to round out Flor’s tannins, whilst a dash of some 5% Garnacha (Grenache) “really freshens it up.” A proportion is fined with egg whites while the rest ages in barrel until early summer.
