Casa Americo Tinto

Description

**Casa Américo Reserva Tinto 2018** Casa Américo Reserva Tinto 2018 is crafted from carefully selected grapes of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Alfrocheiro. The grapes come from vineyards planted on granite soils at elevations between 400 and 600 metres, with the influence of a nearby 2 000‑metre mountain, all located in the Serra da Estrela sub‑region. The wine spent 12 months aging in French oak barrels, which gives it polish, density, and a well‑structured backbone. *Winemaker:* Pedro Pereira > “With a touch of Alfrocheiro in the batch, this wine is rich and spicy, with a structured backbone. The wine spent a year on wood, giving it polish and density. Drink from 2024.” – Roger Voss, *Wine Enthusiast* > “Touriga Nacional (50 %), Tinta Roriz (30 %) and Alfrocheiro (20 %), with barrel ageing. Good aromatic notes of forest berries, expressive fruit. Medium body, smooth and fresh, with a bit of tannin to give a ‘boost’ of bite at the finish. A very consensual red.” – Luís Lopes, *Revista Grandes Escolhas* **Awards** - Gold Medal – *Melhores Vinhos do Dão* (2018 vintage) - Gold Tambourine – 10th *Concurso de Vinhos Crédito Agrícola* (2018 vintage) - 91 / 100 Best Buy – *Wine Enthusiast* (2018 vintage) - 16.5 / 20 – *Revista Grandes Escolhas*, no. 76 (2018 vintage) - 86 / 90 – *Robert Parker*, *Wine Advocate* (2014 vintage) **Allergen Information** Contains sulfites. **SKU:** 101401
