The scarce 2019 Gaintus Sobremadurada was produced with red Sumoll grapes that were picked and hang inside a house to dehydrate them. So, the grapes are not overripe and are protected from the sun, concentrated by losing water but keeping the freshness of the fruit.

A selective harvest is done of the best clusters of Sumoll. The bunches are then transported to an ancient hay barn, where they are hung to dry for more than 4 months in the breeze until the desired level of sugar concentration is reached.
After vinification the wine ages in French oak barrels for 9 months.

Tasting Note:
(Robert Parker’s rating: 91 points)
The 2019 Gaintus Sobremadurada has very nice complexity with notes of nuts and a touch of botrytis, so honeyed and with red berry fruit and a touch of dried herbs. The wine has 12.5% natural alcohol, 150 grams of residual sugar and a low pH that gives it freshness. Only 733 half bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2022.
