Profile & Story
Humus is the label of Rodrigo Filipe, a self-taught, former civil-engineer-turned-winemaker who farms 9 hectares of red clay and limestone soils at Quinta do Paco in Encosta da Quinta, an hour north of Lisbon, where cool Atlantic breezes slow ripening and preserve freshness. The Tinto is built around Touriga Nacional, typically alongside Syrah and other native varieties, hand-harvested and sorted, destemmed and pneumatically pressed. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast and seven to ten days of maceration in stainless steel, then ages around twelve months in old 500-liter barrels, unfiltered and with no added sulfites.
Tasting Notes
Medium to full-bodied, with distinctive saline, coastal-influenced notes alongside plum, violet and deep, inky fruit. Time in old barrels rounds out the texture and softens the tannins, adding a whisper of oak. Restaurant's Notes: Humus 'Tinto' is a fresh and complex red wine from Lisboa, Portugal, made from a Touriga Nacional blend. It showcases vibrant flavors of plums and blueberries with earthy undertones, aged in oak for added depth, and offers a smooth, organic profile
Pairing Recommendation
It pairs well with pork, pasta, rice, charcuterie, and cheese.
