Karaktär

Fruktig och aromatisk doft av björnbär, plommon, jordgubbar, viol, örter och mineral. Smaken är elegant, djup och intensiv med en välbalanserad syra, sammetslena tanniner och en elegant fatkaraktär. Lång harmonisk eftersmak.

Tillverkning

Druvorna pressades skonsamt och musten fick sedan jäsa i ståltank, följt av malolaktisk jäsning.

Lagring

Vinet har lagrats 18 månader i stora foudres.

Passar till

Serveras vid 16-18°C till smakrika kötträtter av lamm, nöt eller vilt, gärna grillat.

Information

Psi togs fram 2007 i ett samarbete mellan Bodegas y Viñedos Alnardo och vinmakaren Peter Sisseck. Sisseck är bland annat känd som skaparen av vinet Pingus. Vingårdarna odlas enligt biodynamiska principer. Psi är den 23:e bokstaven i det grekiska alfabetet. Psi är en uppvisning i Peter Sissecks förmåga att ta fram det bästa ur druvorna, jorden och klimatet till en fantastisk helhet.

Recensioner

In 2020, he reached the target he set for himself when PSI first started, to produce around 300,000 bottles (it's actually 350,000 bottles). The volume of the 2020 PSI is something that's important, as it has availability and affordability, which is necessary when based on quality, purchasing only grapes from old vines (they use 7,000 plots for this volume!). So, they also started purchasing some of those vineyards in 2022 (they think they need 200 hectares to keep the volume, so the aim is to own maybe half of it). Peter Sisseck remarked that we have to remember 2020 was a warm year, but with the high content of limestone in the soils, the wine has kept very good freshness. They harvested early, before the rain, and they also used some 5% to 10% Garnacha (they could use up to 25%, according to regulations) in the blend to lower the pH of the wine. Below 3.8, he thinks, the wines from the zone are very angular and hard if it's only Tempranillo, so Garnacha (which doesn't have as much tannins as Tempranillo) can help with that; but the difficulty is finding Garnacha grapes, so they are considering planting some Garnacha for the future. The bottled wine has all that the sample promised—clean and healthy aromas, floral and elegant, aromatic and with good freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, with elegant tannins, pleasant and easy to drink. Drink Date: 2023 - 2028
