In case you thought all labels fictional here is proof to the contrary. His name is Pingo, he is a cocker spaniel and lives at Joao Ramos's house in the Alentejo. The tale goes that while out walking Joao was musing on where to plant some Syrah when he noticed Pingo digging vigorously and turning up deep red, iron rich soil, perfect for this grape. Hence the vineyard site was discovered and a new wine created. Well, if you believe that you'll believe anything! Still Pingo, The Smart Dog, exists and here he is.
