Aalto PS 2022 – The Ultimate Expression of Ribera del Duero

Aalto PS 2022 is the flagship wine of Bodegas Aalto and one of the most sought-after red wines from Ribera del Duero. “PS” stands for “Pagos Seleccionados” (Selected Plots) and represents the finest fruit from specific old-vine parcels. This wine is only produced in outstanding vintages and embodies the full power, elegance, and aging potential of the region.

Origin and Production

Crafted entirely from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), Aalto PS is sourced from 60- to 90-year-old vines located in La Horra and La Aguilera—two of the most prestigious vineyard areas in Ribera del Duero. The vineyards sit at elevations around 800 meters, where the extreme diurnal temperature swings promote slow ripening and exceptional fruit concentration.

The grapes are hand-harvested in small 15 kg boxes and rigorously sorted before vinification. Fermentation is carried out under controlled conditions, and the wine is then aged for 21 months in 100% new French oak barrels.

Tasting Profile

In the glass, Aalto PS 2022 shows a dense, nearly opaque purple hue. The bouquet is powerful and deeply layered, with notes of blackberries, cassis, violets, dark chocolate, cedar, tobacco, and subtle mineral tones. The oak is beautifully integrated, offering a refined spiciness without overwhelming the fruit.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, yet impeccably balanced. Silky tannins and a fresh acidity give structure and poise, leading to a persistent, elegant finish that lingers with notes of ripe black fruit, graphite, and spice.

Aging Potential and Pairings

Aalto PS 2022 is a wine built for the cellar—it can age gracefully for 20 years or more. While already impressive in its youth, it will gain complexity and harmony with time.

It pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled red meats, venison, slow-cooked lamb, wild mushrooms, and aged cheeses such as Manchego or Comté. It’s also a wine worthy of quiet contemplation, perfect for those moments when only the best will do.

About the Producer

Founded in 1999 by Mariano García (former winemaker at Vega Sicilia) and Javier Zaccagnini, Bodegas Aalto quickly became a benchmark in Ribera del Duero. With a focus on precision, terroir, and longevity, Aalto PS represents the pinnacle of their winemaking philosophy.
