The Wine: Humus Curtimenta 2018

This orange wine from southwestern Portugal is nothing short of incredible. Humus is made naturally from native grape varietals grown organically. The grapes are hand harvested, carefully selected, and pressed softly. The must ferments with wild yeast in small oak barrels. Nothing is added to the wine, which is bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is a no added sulfites vegan wine redolent of dry fruit, spices, and citrus; the palate is incredibly elegant.

The Producer: Encosta da Quinta

Encosta da Quinta, Quinta do Paço, is a family-owned estate of about 20 hectares located in Alvorninha, near Óbidos, between the Atlantic Ocean and Serra dos Candeeiros, southwestern Portugal. Rodrigo Felipe is the family winemaker, working the 10 hectares of the estate planted with vineyards and producing wine under the label Humus. The estate is certified organic and Rodrigo makes his wines naturally.

The Region: Óbidos

Óbidos is a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) located in the wider Lisboa wine region, southwestern Portugal. The area is at around 150-200 meters above sea level, squeezed between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra dos Candeeiros range. The climate is mostly maritime, with cool temperatures and good aeration – a steady but mild breeze from the Atlantic Ocean. The main soil formations are calcareous and limestone with clay. Combined with the climate the result is a long ripening season, great for grapes’ acidity level.

Stress Free Shipping

At Primal Wine we like to be transparent about everything we do. When it comes to buying products online, shipping is the most important aspect, and that’s why we take great care in shipping and handling your order using only 100% recycled packaging material.

Important Compliance Requirements

UPS and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older.

Important COVID Update

UPS and FedEx declared that in order to protect their workers and customers, they no longer require a signature on delivery. This does not mean they will drop a wine box at your door. UPS delivery workers will make sure the person receiving the wine is 21 years or older, and will ask for his/her name - only then do they deliver the package.

Shipping Rates and Options

An important premise: wine bottles are heavy – about 3 pounds each – and shipping is expensive! Primal Wine is not backed by venture capital money – we proudly are a mom and pop independent online store – and we must charge shipping on all orders, otherwise we wouldn’t be in business. However, we try our best to offer you very competitive shipping rates.
