Humus Wines are natrual wines produced at Quinta do Paço, a small family farm, about one hour north of Lisbon. Here it is common to have cooling sea breezes and high humidity. This cooler microclimate allows the grapes to enjoy a longer maturing period and maintain the acidity level. Most cultivated grapes are traditional Portuguese varieties such as Arinto, Fernu Pires, Vital (for whites) and Castelu, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca for reds, along with a small percentage of Syrah.
