"Casa Américo Alfrocheiro 2018 wine is a monovarietal wine, 100% from the Alfrocheiro variety, one of the main grape varieties in the Dão region, Portugal. This variety produces wines rich in color, with firm but delicate and structuring tannins. Coming from the vineyards of Quinta do Paço, with about 25 years, located in the sub-region of Serra da Estrela, Dão region. This Casa Américo Alfrocheiro wine shows a ruby color with aromas of black plum, peat and hints of pine. In the mouth it is dense, with firm but delicate tannins." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-One of the hidden gems from this past year for me. An un-oaked red from Portugal that really allows the grape to show itself off. Savory with compote fruit flavors, this is a red that can handle a slight chill before drinking. Also an excellent food wine, enjoy this with freshly grilled red snapper and peppers. Cheers!

"This lemon coloured wine has a nose of flora and citrus fruits. Lovely acidity on the palate combined with the characteristic minerality found in the Dão region, with a long and elegant finish." —winemaker

"A vibrant ruby coloured wine, with highlights of wild berry notes, black pepper and wild flowers. The palate has a nice acidity combined with round tannins and a long finish." —winemaker

"Intense ruby color. Fruity odor composed mainly of fresh red berries, woodland fruits, jam, spices and a slight hint of roasted flavors. It has a fruity, soft, elegant and harmonious flavor. Quinta de Cabriz is located between the two main rivers that cross the Dao region, the Mondego and the Dao. It is a secular "quinta" (farm) so along with a 17th century manor house there is also a chapel." —winemaker

Blend: 40% Alfrocheiro, 40% Aragonez, 20% Touriga Nacional
