Casa Américo Homenagem Red 2015
This wine is a fair tribute to the father, Américo Seabra.
At the time of harvest, a lot of red grapes with great potential was identified, from one of our vineyards with more than 80 years. In these old vines with very low production, a mixture of traditional varieties from this sub-region of Dão, Serra da Estrela, is present.
After the manual harvest, it was followed by gentle crushing, with total destemming, into a small granite press with a maximum temperature of 23º C. After fermentation, it was transferred to 225 L french oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation ended and remained for 12 months, before bottling.
This Casa Américo Homenagem Red, 2015, with a deep ruby and intense aroma, presents a great complexity in the mouth, with ripe tannins well present with a long and long finish.

Fermented in stone presses, the wine pays homage to the founder Américo Seabra. Dense, full of black fruits and rich tannins, it has weight and concentration. Drink from 2021.”
