Cartuxa FEO 'Geno' Tinto 2019

We adore this wine for it's simplicity. Juicy, crunchy red fruit on the palate and super aromatic, seductive red fruits on the nose. Think cherries, blueberries and plum. The wine has good structure - generous body but with acidity, giving the wine freshness. A wonderful, versatile food wine, but eminently drinkable on its own. This is what all the critics mean when they rave that Portugal are churning out brilliant, affordable wines at the moment... 

Press Reviews:

Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak: “Very floral and exotic with lovely exuberant red cherry and berry fruits. The palate is juicy and bright with amazing fruit purity. So pretty and focused.” - 90 points

James Lawrence, Calibre: “This example from Cartuxa is more than a match for rivals across the border, and will just love roast beef. Rich and fruit-driven, it offers aromas of cherry, damson, blueberry and vanilla. A steal at £10!” 

Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail: “I still cannot quite believe the value offered by this stunningly rewarding wine from acclaimed producer Cartuxa Evora…the colourful label gives you an idea of the open, refreshing flavours in this engaging red.”

Cartuxa's wines are crafted in the Alentejo district of Évora, where their renown has been long-standing in Portugal. The Quinta de Valbom estate in Évora, where the winemaking has been ongoing since 1517, was originally established by the Jesuits. Geno is a brand produced by the acclaimed Fundação Eugénio de Almeida, who are located in the Évora sub-region of the Alentejo. One of the most dynamic wine regions in Portugal, it is known for great value, easy-drinking wines with rich fruit and good acidity. The 'Geno' wines are named after a young farmer and are designed to be vibrant and quaffable.
