Gerónimo 2020, Herdade do Portocarro

The vineyard is surrounded by trees and vines, laid out in a north-south orientation atop a south facing hill, 60m above the Sado River. Warm days and cool nights provide perfect growing conditions, along with the special mix of clay loam, calcium and silica in the soil and an ideal PH balance. Grapes are hand harvested, soft pressed and undergo cold decantation of the must before fermentation in French oak barrels. The wine is further aged for 12 months in 300L French oak barrels with gentle battonage.
