PSI 2021 Peter Sisseck

Peter Sisseck PSI 2020 Ribera del Duero

Vinen er skabt på 100 % Tempranillo købt fra en række vinbønder, som indtil for få år siden blev betalt for og derfor også sigtede efter kvantitet. Nu har de indledt et samarbejde med Peter Sisseck og hans partner Pablo Rubio, der i første omgang går ud på at efterstræbe kvalitet frem for kvantitet.

Projektet er markant forskelligt fra Flor de Pingus, og det handler mere om at afsøge de muligheder, der ligger gemt i de rodfæstede traditioner, end om at præstere voldsomme vine, der om ikke andet slår benene væk under verdenspressen.

93-95 point – Robert Parker, januar 2023

“A new era starts in 2021, when they got a new winemaker for PSI. The 2021 PSI—still unbottled, as it should have an élevage of 20 months—comes from a cooler year than 2020, but it was also a drier vintage and the wine has more finesse than in 2020. It develops a note of honey, beeswax and pollen—Peter thinks this comes from the wine from Gumiel de Izán (and it also happens in Quintana del Pidio), as the 2021 has a significant percentage from Gumiel de Izán. 2021 is an approachable vintage, and the wine feels very elegant. It has 14.1% alcohol, slightly higher than 2020, but even if they do not harvest looking at the alcohol, they try to avoid going over 14%. I tasted a sample from 80% oak vat and 20% in barrel, with some new barrels. This is going in the right direction. They expect to bottle some 360,000 bottles. As they harvest early, they start the élevage almost one month earlier than others, so they think the wine might be bottled in May 2023.”
