Lisboa, Luis Gil
"Wines have been a passion for years. In my parents' house there was a wine cellar, with hundreds of classic Dão and Bairrada wines, which woke me up with wine. Since then I have always looked for wines that" drew "me. The interest brought me to special fairs, to visit producers. I started to taste and get to know more and more. During the process I met many people in the area and made many friends. Always busy with tasting and learning, I decided on a day "this year I'm going to make wine", not least because the wine profile that I like is increasingly distant from the profile that the market in general has to offer.

When he joined the Encosta da Quinta team led by Rodrigo Filipe (Humus), his future was written and he became part of a team of west coast winegrowing beach boys. But don't think it's an urban pastime that runs from Thursday to the weekend, because Luís' weeks are very long and the hours of sleep are marginal. Since 2017 he started his own project. “I searched for old vines in Óbidos (where I live) and rented a 60 year old vineyard. Marinho was born there, a wine with the characteristics and profile that I love. Since this first vineyard I now have several other vineyards , ranging in age from 40 to 110 years old. I practice organic farming. I plan to make simple, fresh, salty and characterful wines, with minimal intervention in the cellar and without using SO2. "
