PSI (Peter Sisseck Initiative?) is the wine of a group of producers brought together by Mr. Sisseck according to precise specifications: tempranillo plots at least 30 years old, necessarily biodynamically grown, gentle extractions, long macerations and maturing practically without wood. A superior fruity wine, fine and with a great tannic softness.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (J. Hidalgo - June 2025): 93/100 "The PSI 2022 comes from the Sorian side of Ribera del Duero. Aromas of ripe plum, cherry and herbs mingle with a touch of balsamic, sweet cedar and a hint of prune. The palate is juicy and creamy, with firm, fine tannins and moderate structure. Concentration comes from the old vines, while lively acidity balances the fine tannins. A solid example of Ribera Soriana."
Amazing story as that of Dominio de Pingus. Created in 1995 by Peter Sisseck, a Danish (!), this estate a few kilometres from Vega Sicilia has become a cult in less than 15 years.
Flor de Pingus is the second wine, coming from the Dominio de Pingus and neighbouring parcels acquired by fermage, 100% tempranillo 35 to 50 years old, biodynamic since 2005. Delicious and elegant, Flor is a modern vision of Ribera del Duero.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (J. Hidalgo - June 2025): 95/100 "The 2022 Flor de Pingus is made with grapes from the Burgos area of Ribera del Duero and was fermented in used barrels after an early harvest in a warm year. Floral and fruit aromas-lavender and violet, wich are rare in warm vintages-open the nose, followed by a delicate touch of oak. A hint of mint and cassis underscores the nose's elegance. Juicy, with fine tannins and a light grip, the palate offers more structure than 2021 while maintaining notable precision. Tasted six month after bottling, the 2022 shows depth and flavor and promises long aging potential."

Pingus is the great wine, made from the 4 ha of the estate, 100% tempranillo aged 70 years, biodynamic since 2000. 450 cases per year (an average yield of 10hl/ha, not counting small vintages, such as the 2002, totally downgraded in Flor de Pingus).
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (J. Hidalgo - June 2025): 99/100 "The 2022 Pingus confirms the potential of this exceptional vineyard in Ribera del Duero. From a slightly structured vintage, the old vines compensate with elegance. Aromas of precise plum, a touch of cedar, black cherry and delicate underbrush unfold, followed by blood orange peel. The palate delivers pure cherry with chalky tannins and a vibrant core that activates with finesse. Deep and expressive, the fruit-driven length and subtle grip speak to its fine balance. Pingus remains a benchmark for the elegant Ribera."
