Gaintus Radical 2017

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, though it could be much better if it had even less. I need to focus on the rebirth of Sumoll in Penedès in my next round. 15,000 bottles were filled in March 2018.
