About the PSI by Pingus 2021 / 2022
PSI is the 23rd letter in the Greek alphabet and is the name of Peter Sisseck's (of the coveted Pingus and Flor de Pingus) utopian wine from Ribera del Duero. Peter has sought out the best independent vineyard growers in Ribera and is incentivizing them to improve viticultural practices and shun chemicals, lower yields and practice biodynamics by paying them increasingly for the fruit as they improve. The result is a "give back" to the region wine that also expresses the "soul" of Ribera.
2021 Vintage Ratings
The bottled 2021 PSI is a bit reticent and closed, the most backward of the 2021s—it's even a bit reductive. This has some 8% Garnacha In 2021, he decided to start buying some of the vineyards; until then, he bought the grapes from these old vineyards, but most of the growers who work these vineyards are also old and some cannot work anymore. So, the solution is to buy their vineyards, which represents an administrative problem too, as the ownership and legal aspects of these vines is sometimes not clear. He now has 50 hectares, with the idea to own 100 hectares of the 200 they use for the wine. That also represents a change, as they need more people to work the vineyards, tractor drivers and so on. "Which is a lot of work," he told me, "but very good fun." The wine takes time to open up; the nose is hard to read, but the palate is much better.
2022 Vintage Ratings
The bottled 2022 PSI follows the character of the sample I tasted last year: it's clean, expressive and open. It's perfumed, elegant, floral and quite attractive and does not transmit any heat. In fact, it has contained ripeness and around 13.8% alcohol. They have improved the selection tremendously, and the wine has gained in precision; it's better each year. There is something that reminds me of the old vintages of Pesquera (1994 and before), with notes of orange peel and aromatic herbs. It's medium-bodied, has fine tannins and very good freshness.
