Geno Branco
Details of production

The wines of Cartuxa are produced within the Alentejo sub-region of Évora and 
have long been legendary within Portugal. Vineyards have been on the same Quinta 
de Valbom site in Évora since 1517 when the Jesuits came to the region to establish 
the second oldest university in Portugal. Geno is a new brand unique to the UK 
market. ‘Geno’ means a young farmer; the artist Antonio Palolo was involved in 
the creation of the unique and vibrant label. Geno Branco is produced from Antao 
Vaz, Roupeiro and Arinto grapes and rich granitic soil. The fermentation takes 
place at 16°C in stainless steel vats. After fermentation, the wine is filtered, blended, 
stabilized and bottled.

Tasting notes
Bursting with tropical fruit and a refreshing streak of lime, this is a fresh and 
fragrant wine. The roupeiro grape gives the fruit, arinto adds freshness and antão 
vaz gives tropical notes.

How to serve
Enjoy with light salads or chicken dishes. Geno Branco 2020 is ready for immediate 
consumption. Serve between 10º to 12º Celsius.
