The wine is built on a distinctive winemaking idea: Touriga Nacional, typically a red grape, is pressed as a blanc de noir and combined with the skins of Fernão Pires, Arinto, and Sauvignon Blanc, which ferment together in clay amphorae for approximately three months. That extended skin contact gives the wine its amber color and textural grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the maceration period, the wine is transferred to used 225-liter chestnut barrels for nine months of aging. Nothing is added — no fining agents, no filtration, no sulfites. Fermentation is spontaneous throughout, driven entirely by native yeasts from the estate's organically farmed vineyards. The grapes are harvested by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards at Quinta do Paço sit at around 150 meters above sea level on calcareous clay-limestone soils, roughly 20 kilometers from the Atlantic. The cool, humid maritime climate extends the ripening season and keeps natural acidity high. The estate has held organic certification since 2007. Rodrigo, a former civil engineer and self-taught winemaker, first produced Humus wines in 2009, taking over vines his father planted on the property in the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encosta da Quinta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35712782893208,"sku":"HUMUCURT18C","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/humus-curtimenta-longa-orange-wine-portugal-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818341","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/humus-curtimenta-longa-encosta-da-quinta-portugal-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
