Why we chose this wine
Not surprisingly, the Méthode Ancestrale would once again become totally hip under the impetus of natural winemakers. After all, it is the most natural method to get bubbles in wine: you bottle the wine, which has not yet fully fermented, and without any additives it starts to referment in the bottle if the ambient temperature is not too low.
It results in wonderfully fresh wine that ranges from bone-dry to slightly sweet depending on the degree of bottle refermentation.

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.
