Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Twelve degrees of alcohol and still a mouth-filling wine — that is the trick Rodrigo Filipe has mastered. Tinta Barroca, Syrah and Touriga Nacional fermented in steel and aged a year in wood. A red can hardly taste more Atlantic: cool fruit, a spiced edge, and a fresh finish with the ocean not far behind it.

The producer
Humus
Rodrigo Filipe was one of the pioneers of natural wine in Portugal and remains one of our personal favourites. On his 9 hectares near Peniche he makes fresh, low-alcohol wines that he only releases after several years of ageing.
