Casa Américo Homenagem Tinto

This wine is a fitting tribute to his father, Américo Seabra.
During the harvest, a batch of red grapes with great potential was identified, from one of our vineyards that is over 80 years old. These old vineyards with very low yields contain a mixture of traditional grape varieties from this sub-region of Dão, Serra da Estrela.
After manual harvesting, the grapes were gently crushed, with total destemming, in a small granite press with a maximum temperature of 23º C. After fermentation, they were transferred to 225L French oak barrels, where they completed malolactic fermentation and remained for 12 months before bottling.
This Casa Américo Homenagem Red from 2015, with a deep ruby color and intense aroma, presents great complexity in the mouth, with ripe tannins very present and a long and persistent finish.
