“Remarkable, fearlessly experimental urban winery in Lisbon”
Julia Harding, Jancis Robinson Tasting Notes
The Art of Manufacture
We don’t just produce; we compose. In our repurposed Belém workshop, we have traded mechanical assembly for the meticulous vinification of indigenous varietals. Our approach is defined by a minimal chemical intervention—yielding wines of exceptional clarity, poise, and Atlantic character, in small series of 500 to 2500 bottles.
From Biology to Oenology
Winemakers Catarina Moreira and David Picard bring a unique intellectual rigor to the cellar. Rooted in the precision of Biology and the cultural humanism of Anthropology, their work is a synthesis of scientific observation, human creativity and artisanal soul.
Sustainable Design
We work with grape growers from Lisbon’s Atlantic coast who are paid fairly and farm with respect for the land. The packaging design combines a vivid personalized style using visual elements drawn mostly by our daughters Ana and Sofia and a clear choice for recyclable packaging materials.
