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 Tinto is produced from 
Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Syrah grapes and rich granitic soil. 
The fermentation takes place at 24-27°C in stainless steel vats. After fermentation, 
the wine is filtered, blended, stabilized and bottled.

Tasting notes

The trincadeira grape does well in hot climates adding vibrant raspberry fruit and 
a herby, peppery note to blends. The red-fleshed grape Alicante Bouschet gives an 
inky, treacle backbone to the blend and the Syrah adds a touch of peppery spice.

How to serve
Geno Tinto 2019 is ready for immediate consumption. Serve between 16º to 18º 
Celsius.
