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.
莫说青山多障碍
风也急风也劲
白云过山峰也可传情
莫说水中多变幻
水也清水也静
柔情似水爱共永
未怕罡风吹散了热爱
万水千山总是情
聚散也有天注定
不怨天不怨命
但求有山水共作证

爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。

远去的脸庞
像婴儿般安详
清澈的眼睛
闪着温暖的光
围在火堆旁
看老照片
记忆停在家乡
带上母亲的托付和渴望
远去的记忆
仿佛还在身旁
南来的脚印
像鸿雁排成行
告别了北方
回家的路依然漫长
带上父亲的心愿和希望
天上星星排成行
在目送孩子回家乡
林木健朗 风雪逐浪
年轻的生命在路上
人间岁月山水长
是热血让青春闪光
天涯滚烫 落日金黄
孩子的牵挂 永远是家乡
远去的记忆
仿佛还在身旁
南来的脚印
像鸿雁排成行
告别了北方
回家的路依然漫长
带上父亲的心愿和希望
天上星星排成行
在目送孩子回家乡
林木健朗 风雪逐浪
年轻的生命在路上
人间岁月山水长
是热血让青春闪光
天涯滚烫 落日金黄
孩子的牵挂 永远是家乡
青春如风吹过身旁
转眼容颜渐渐沧桑
为爱疯过为梦也曾轻狂
怀念那时的模样
功名利禄忽下忽上
虚无的像云在飘荡
经历多了喜欢望着月亮
举杯敬那些过往
谁还不是来人间走个过场
不管你背着什么行囊
都要经历一样的寒来暑往
酸甜苦辣也都要品尝
谁还不是来人间走个过场
不论平凡或光芒万丈
在这没有返程列车的路上
每段风景都值得欣赏
功名利禄忽下忽上
虚无的像云在飘荡
经历多了喜欢望着月亮
举杯敬那些过往
谁还不是来人间走个过场
不管你背着什么行囊
都要经历一样的寒来暑往
酸甜苦辣也都要品尝
谁还不是来人间走个过场
不论平凡或光芒万丈
在这没有返程列车的路上
每段风景都值得欣赏
畴昔通家好，相知无间然。
续明催画烛，守岁接长筵。
旧曲梅花唱，新正柏酒传。
客行随处乐，不见度年年。
【注释】
守岁：旧时民间于除夕之夜，一家团坐，饮酒笑乐，通夜不眠，称为“守岁”。
【译文】
长期以来两家关系就很好，彼此相知亲密无间。
天黑之后点起描画的红烛，排起守岁的宴席，友朋列坐其次。
席间歌女唱起《梅花》旧曲，大家畅饮新蒸的柏酒，推杯换盏，间或会有行酒令的游戏。
作者现在是四处漂泊随行处且行乐，一年一年的过去了也不见。
【赏析】
这年的除夕，孟浩然就是在乐成张少府（子容）的官邸度过的。孟浩然与张子容，既有同乡之谊，又是通家之好，更加两人年青时曾同隐鹿门山，晨夕相处，亲密无间，此次孟浩然专程远道来访，张子容当然热情接待。除夕之夜，张子容的官邸，灯火辉煌，画烛高烧，筵备珍馐，酒斟柏叶。他们一边品尝着新酿的柏叶酒，一边畅叙着别后离情，当时内心的快乐，是难以言喻的。席间还有卢氏歌女演唱《梅花》古曲，她的婉转歌喉，更增添了两位人的兴会。
中反应出一些流传已久的习俗，另一方面也写出了与张少府的深情厚谊。
