Intense, complex, refined and balanced 

The Geronimo 2019 is a cuvée of Galego Dourado and Sercial. The musts were fermented together in French barrels. In the glass, it shows a pale and clear light golden yellow. On the nose, discreet aromas of citrus fruits, white peach and also pineapple emerge. The wine has a lot of tension and minerality, it is full-bodied with vibrant acidity and a very long finish.

Geronimo is a captivating wine with a long and very gastronomic finish, that pairs perfectly with all the grilled fish from our Atlantic coast as well as the stews, cataplanas and the beautiful Alentejo rice, intense and full of aromas that are refined with our herbs!

Wines for the cultured and discerning connoisseur who seeks and loves the extraordinary.

"For the white grapes, the 2019 vintage came very early in Portocarro. In early August, we were in full swing in the vineyards. The year was very interesting both qualitatively and quantitatively, and the ripeness and terroir of the vineyards characterized the wines we obtained.
As the fermentation of the Galego Dourado and Sercial began in French oak barrels, which have also been used since 2012 for the fermentation and aging of red wine as well as some white musts, we noticed that this harvest was full of freshness, character and complexity. In our minds, a possible new wine began to "ferment", unlike anything we had in our portfolio, but with the personality and backbone of Portocarro, which were well pronounced. At the end of the "sur lies" (or battonage) phase, we were able to create this practically 50/50 blend of Sercial and Galego Dourado, which we called GERONIMO.

This wine, which we are now bringing to market and whose irreverence and playfulness we know, will grant us an enormous development in the bottle, allowing us to drink it for many good years!
Geronimo 2019 was made with a lot of vision, passion and affection. It is our wish that all this effort is visible to our consumers and that they will never forget this wine when they drink it, just as we do. A wine inspired by a great Apache warrior, who was also a shaman. A wine that contains its combative qualities, but also its wisdom and mysticism. A wine of the earth that is connected to the sky."

South of Lisbon, in the municipality of Alcácer do Sal, surrounded by olive groves and horse paddocks in the midst of a fertile and idyllic area lies the Herdade do Portocarro winery. The 15-hectare vineyard, sloping south, is located in an area crossed by the Sado River and characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The warm and moderate Mediterranean climate in the Setúbal Peninsula region is shaped by the proximity of the sea. Through this geographical feature and through the love of wine and the high-quality raw materials, products of unique quality are created every year. The project of JOSÉ ABREU LOPES DA MOTA CAPITÃO focuses on a philosophy of high-quality wines in limited quantities and exclusive production. Integrated pest management without human intervention ensures that the wine can express its full potential, and a series of traditional winemaking methods, such as the fermentation of the grapes in French oak barrels, give the wines their unique character.

From the beginning, the "Herdade do Portocarro" winery produced unique wines that immediately positioned themselves at the highest level of national production, including "Herdade do Portocarro", "Tears of Anima" and "Cavalo Maluco". These wines possess an intense and multifaceted personality, are firm and earthy, and are characterized by exceptional elegance and freshness.
