Casa Américo

The Casa Américo Reserva Red 2018 is produced from carefully selected grapes of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Alfrocheiro varieties, sourced from vineyards planted on granite soils at an altitude between 400 and 600 meters, influenced by the 2000-meter-high Serra da Estrela mountain, located in the Serra da Estrela sub-region.

Casa Américo Reserva Red 2018 was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Winemaker: Pedro Pereira.

“With a touch of Alfrocheiro in the blend, this wine is rich and spicy, with a structured base. The wine aged for a year in wood, giving it polish and density. Drink from 2024.” – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

“Touriga Nacional (50%), Tinta Roriz (30%), and Alfrocheiro (20%), aged in barrels. Good aromatic notes of forest berries, beautiful and expressive fruit. Medium-bodied, in a smooth and fresh style, with some tannins adding a boost of grip to the finish. A very consensual red.” – Luís Lopes, Grandes Escolhas Magazine

Casa Américo

In homage to the man who, through the labor of the earth, knew how to build a dream to make wine in his image and likeness: Américo Seabra, Father. This is the nor
Our company is based on the principle of Américo Seabra (Father), the initiator of our wines and that by whom we continue to perpetuate the memory in each harvest. Today, already in the third generation of the Seabra family, we put the tradition and knowledge of the secular noble vineyards of this Dão region, in the most modern production methods to ensure unique and eloquent quality wines, praising the native grape varieties of the region such as Touriga Nacionalin the red and Encruzado in the white.
From the 15 hectares of winemaking with which we started this dream in 2005 to the 100 hectares that since 2010, the year of our foundation as a company, are in our care, there has been a strong and sustained development, not only in vinified area, infrastructure and means of production, but also in human resources that have allowed us to achieve wine production in quality and in the standards that guide the precepts of our existence.
With the signature of our inspiration we have built all our wines, from the freshest and youngest to the finest and most complex of the reserves worked by wood and time, in the company of the granites and fountains that run through the Winery and that ensure a unique and unique environment, giving all our wines elegance, sophistication, character and personality. It is with all this tradition and passion, dedication and memory that we share our wines knowing that they all tell a story, provide an experience and ensure in their essence the sensations of love with which we make wine, to those who discover them.
