The PSI is wine from the renowned winemaker Peter Sisseck, who is also known for the cult wine Pingus and Flor de Pingus. The famous bodega Dominio de Pingus of Peter Sisseck in Ribera del Duero will give its wines considerably less wood. Anyone who exaggerates suffers from winemakers' laziness, he thinks. PSI are therefore also the initials of Peter SIsseck
The healthier the vineyard and the better the management, the less wood aging is necessary, is his point of view. In Brazil, when Wijnwijs.eu visited one of the top wine boutiques, the same vision was propagated. Sisseck previously noticed that new oak wood yielded wine from a certain parcel of wine reduction in the barrel. Immature tannins began to absorb oxygen. The bodega wants to avoid this in the future by drastically reducing the use of wood. Less but much more expensive, because Dominio de Pingus now uses Taransaud's T5, which costs 1200 euros. Almost twice as expensive as the usual 225 liter barriques.
In the glass the wine has a deep fresh red color. The PSI is a robust wine with Tempranillo expression of the highest level: class, fruit, soft, sunny. Different structure than the other wines of this domain, in a less mature style. Firm and fleshy attack with a lot of fruit that is still a bit weighed down by the tannins in the beginning. A wine that needs a lot of air in the beginning. Meaty finale with a nod to the authentic Ribera style of the time. Great glass of wine but anyway it's also from Sisseck.
