With this Duo Set we want to introduce you to the incredible work of Encosta da Quinta, a family winery run by Rodrigo Felipe who dedicates his life to the estate that his grandfather acquired in 1960 in Caldas da Raina, a few kilometers away North from Lisbon. He is a self-taught winegrower who started the Humus project to connect with nature and the terroir in a way that allows him to bottle very personal wines.
 
- Humus Branco 2021 comes from vineyards of Arinto and Fernão Pires lying on steep slopes and planted over clay and limestone soils that are surrounded by a eucalyptus forest, which protects the vineyard from the Atlantic climate.  Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in 225L old oak barrels where it is left to age for 9 months. Its full-on palate is judiciously buttery and waxy, filled with herbaceous and citric nuances, and preserving a good Atlantic nerve. If you like Chablis, get out of your comfort zone and give this cuvée a go, you'll be surprised.
 
- Humus Charlatão 2018 is made with Castelão grapes that are de-stemmed. It fermented with the skins for 7 days and was racked in 225L old barrels where it aged for fourteen months. Herbal, smoky, filled with currant-like flavors, sour cherries, and seaweed. Ethereal, sapid, and with a great nerve. Don't expect power in an Atlantic red because this is all about dynamism.
