The property, Quinta do Paço, sits at roughly 150 meters above sea level between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra dos Candeeiros range. The 9 hectares of vines grow on red clay and limestone soils and benefit from consistent Atlantic breezes and high humidity, which slow ripening and preserve natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Rodrigo Filipe — a self-taught former civil engineer who began producing wine in the early 2000s — works the estate under organic certification (Sativa PT, since 2007). In the vineyard he uses natural compost and minimal copper and sulfur. The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed, then fermented in small stainless steel tanks with wild yeasts. After fermentation the wine is aged in old oak barrels. Nothing is added at any stage; the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend of Castelão and Syrah is well-suited to the cool Atlantic terroir of Óbidos. Castelão delivers red currant, plum, and a slightly earthy, spiced character alongside firm natural acidity. Syrah adds a peppery, dark-fruited lift. The result is a medium-bodied red with real freshness — light on its feet for a red from this grape combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a no-added-sulfites, vegan wine. Store upright in a cool, dark place. Allow some air after opening if the wine shows any reduction on first pour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encosta da Quinta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12922166018103,"sku":"HUMULCAT19C","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/humus-lct19-red-portugal-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630820323","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/humus-lct19-encosta-da-quinta-portugal-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
