Production:
Made from Tinto Fino (also called Tinta del Pais, a local variant of Rioja’s Tempranillo), the grape that made the are wellknown, and a tiny percentage of Grenache (10%), sourced mostly from older vines from 630 plots spread throughout 21 different villages. Made at seven different cellers using two selection tables and their own tanks.
In this vintage, there has been an important change: 35% of the grapes come from vines planted on calcareous soils, which gives the wine greater complexity.
Vinification takes place in traditional concrete tanks and has aged for 18 months in a mix of second and third-year oak barrels used for the Pingus as well as large Foudres, voluntarily avoiding the use of new wood.
Tasting Notes:
Clear and clean aromas of blue fruits on the nose, raspberry, and licorice are complemented by some spice notes. Soft and pleasant entry on the palate, good acidity, and lively black fruit flavours. Very expressive with very fine tannins.
Notes: It is recommended to decant the wine.
PSI is the latest personal project of Peter Sisseck. He embarked on a new quest: to create a wine from a new perspective while at the same time capturing the soul of Ribera del Duero.
The new winery was then established in 2007, with the idea of creating a new, reasonably priced wine that it is produces in cooperation with local growers, working on the fundamentals of organic and biodynamic viticulture.
They will employ longer and gentler macerations to get the most harmonious extraction possible and avoid the use of new wood with no attempt to give pride of place to the wood, giving priority over the fruit, its freshness, and its finesse.
