Humus Pet Nat Rosé is made by Rodrigo Felipe at Quinta do Paço in Alvorninha, near Óbidos, from a blend of Touriga Nacional and Castelão grown on clay-limestone soils roughly 20 km from the Atlantic. The grapes are co-pressed after harvest, fermented in wood barrels with native yeasts, and transferred to bottle about one month later to finish fermentation — the ancestral method, nothing added.
The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, leaving it lightly cloudy with natural sediment. The bubbles are pronounced and rustic rather than fine or persistent, giving it a textured, earthy character that sets it apart from most rosé pétillants. No sulfites are added at any stage.
Óbidos sits at 150 to 200 meters above sea level in the Lisboa wine region, squeezed between the Atlantic and the Serra dos Candeeiros range. The maritime climate delivers steady Atlantic breezes, high natural acidity in the fruit, and a long, cool ripening season. Soils are primarily calcareous limestone with clay. The estate has been certified organic since 2007.
On the palate, expect wild red berries, watermelon, and rose petal, backed by a savory, earthy edge and brisk acidity. The 2019 vintage is rare in the market; subsequent vintages carry the same winemaking approach with no fundamental changes to method or grape composition.
