Casa Américo, Jaen, 2020

This 100% Jaen wine from Casa Américo Jaen comes from a 50-year-old vineyard in Vila Nova de Tazem, in the Dão region, sub-region of Serra da Estrela, Portugal. The Jaen variety, traditional from Dão, was once predominant, then fell into disgrace and was abandoned, uprooted, but today it has regained its space in Dão.
Without aging in wood, this wine aims to highlight the unique characteristics of the variety, its elegance and freshness.
This Casa Américo Jaen 2020 has an ruby color. Subtle aroma with red fruit notes such as strawberries and raspberries. The palate is elegant with a nice acidity and very round tannins.
