Fruit Source: Fruit comes from multiple growers throughout Ribera del Duero. Through purchase of their grapes, Peter Sisseck encourages the small farmers to maintain old vine stocks as well as engage in organic and biodynamic viticulture. In a sense, PSI is a “neo-cooperative” venture between Peter and many of the best independent grape growers in Ribera del Duero.
Winemaking Notes: The PSI by Peter Sisseck is not Pingus. This is a friendly wine; one that you might call a "village wine." No new oak is used. The wine is made in a less extracted, less showy style, and the goal is to produce a terroir-driven expression of organically and biodynamically cultivated Tempranillo. Grapes ferment with a 30+ day maceration with punch downs. The wine ages for about 16 months in a mix of large French barrels and cement tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs. The wine is not fined or filtered.
