Humus Wines

Humus Wines is a wine producer based at Quinta do Paço, in Alvorninha, part of the municipality of Caldas da Rainha. Its flagship product, Humus Tinto, is a certified organic red wine and one of the few Portuguese wines made without added sulphites. The company describes its business model as one built for the long term, prioritising sustainable value creation over short-term gains. This shows up in the choice to farm organically and to skip the sulphites that most conventional wineries add as a preservative and stabiliser. Humus Tinto 2018 is sold through specialist wine retailers such as Garrafeira Terroir, which markets it as a natural and healthy option within Portugal's wine market. Beyond these retail listings and a brief company description, detailed information about the vineyard's size, farming methods and history is not publicly available. The project's own website, humuswines.com, currently displays only a coming-soon page, suggesting the brand is still building its online presence.
