What am I: Humus Red No Added Sulfites

Encosta da Quinta is a family property, home to Rodrigo Filipe and his Humus wines. Rodrigo is one of the pioneering and most experimental and exciting natural wine producers in Portugal. A self-taught viticulturist, and former civil engineer, he left that career behind to dedicate himself to the vineyards acquired by his grandfather in 1960.

The winery is located in the demarcated region of Óbidos, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra dos Candeeiros mountains, north of Lisbon. In this place, the focus is on natural winemaking with local varieties.

The organic red wine, Humus, remains a rarity in Portugal, standing apart with its sulphite-free production. This naturally wholesome wine possesses an allure that’s hard to miss. Within each bottle, one witnesses a production journey that mirrors the collective dedication of individuals tied to the origins of these wines. It’s the bonds of family and emotion that fuel the passion for winemaking.These are wines of nature, requiring minimal intervention to preserve purity, pleasure, and an undeniable authenticity.
