Humus A Deriva Tinto 2014
Region: Lisboa
Producer: Humus
Rodrigo decided to keep this Touriga from the remarkably fresh (and wet) year 2014 for an extra long time. It is not known to journalists as a top year, but after the necessary aging in the bottle, a number of wines from 2014 turn out to be very refined and often show a lot of character.We did not hesitate to purchase a very generous amount.

Rodrigo Filipe deliberately held this 2014 Touriga back. The year was cool and wet and had no great reputation, but it is exactly those wines that turn out the finest after some years in bottle. Fermented in steel, twelve months in barrel, twelve degrees of alcohol: the Atlantic side of Touriga Nacional, without the power the grape takes on elsewhere.
