The Pingus domaine, which has been owned since 1995 by the famous Dane, Peter Sisseck, is highly esteemed and has established its credentials with one of the best known wines in Spain, if not the world. On a vineyard planted with very old Tempranillo vines (over 80 years of age) the winemaker produces three cuvées, one of which is made with grapes sourced outside the domaine. As the vineyard is fairly small, production is naturally very low, especially as yields are strictly limited – and therefore all the more desirable.
PSI (named after the letter in the Greek alphabet and depicted in the shape of a vine stock on the label Ψ) is produced by a cooperative of quality-focused wine growers who, in the main, cultivate their vineyards according to biodynamic principles. It was the inspiration of Peter Sisseck who is committed to developing the potential of the Ribera del Duero’s older vineyards by working with their owners.
Peter Sisseck is an exceptional Danish winemaker, who fell in love with Ribera del Duero. He could see the huge potential of the very old bush vines, its poor soils and climate. So started the great Pingus dynasty, a wine of which was described by top critic Robert Parker, as “one of the greatest and most exciting young red wines I have ever tasted.” Sisseck wanted to give back to the region and so PSI was born. He works closely with growers, showing them how to make the most of their ancient vines, by tending sustainably and producing small amounts of superb fruit. ‘Capturing the soul’ of Ribera del Duero, this is a very fine red.
The 2015 is a beautiful colour, an intense plum, bright and lustrous. The nose presents very bright, fresh, crystalline, summer berry fruit, roses and violets to the fore, complemented by a more savoury layer, warm spice, grilled fennel and minerals. Peter has included 7% of Garnacha, which makes for a rounded texture, coated ripe tannins and a very approachable wine.
