(Robert Parker’s rating: 93 points)
Gaintus 已發展成完整系列，而我特別喜愛 2017 年的 Gaintus Radical，以在地紅葡萄 Sumoll 釀造。酒香誘人，帶有酸櫻桃、酸爽莓果與橙皮氣息；酒體中等，伴隨活潑的酸度，清新爽口，令人垂涎。口感爽利、乾淨而美味，帶一絲煙燻橡木，比同系列其他酒款更輕微。
MontRubí, founded in 1986 in Catalonia’s Penedès region, lies over 600 meters above sea level on diverse soils that bring complexity and minerality. The winery is best known for its Gaintus project, which revived the nearly extinct Sumoll grape and produced Spain’s first 100% Sumoll red. Committed to organic farming and certified Bio & Vegan, MontRubí showcases the unique terroir and culture of Penedès.

The Gaintus brand has been turned into a whole range, and I really love the 2017 Gaintus Radical, produced with the local red Sumoll grape. It has a tantalizing nose of sour cherries, acid berries and orange peel and a medium-bodied palate with effervescent acidity that provides lots of freshness and makes you salivate. It's sharp and refreshing, clean and truly delicious. It still has some smoky oak but nothing compared with its siblings.
