“Remarkable, fearlessly experimental urban winery in Lisbon”
Julia Harding, Jancis Robinson Tasting Notes
The Art of Manufacture
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.
An Inner-City Sanctuary
Adega Belém brings the essence of winemaking into the heart of Lisbon. We offer curated winery experiences and private dinner events for novices, connoisseurs and private groups—an intimate look at high-end manufacture without leaving the city. 28 people on one long table, up to 74 people for bar-style cocktails and receptions.

Sustainable Design
For us, working sustainably means paying our suppliers and collaborators fairly and sourcing grapes from healthy, small-scale vineyards near our winery. To preserve microbial diversity, we hand-harvest, crush gently (mainly by foot), and allow fermentation to occur spontaneously. We avoid adding sulfites during harvest and fermentation unless they are truly necessary in particularly difficult years. Our packaging combines a vivid, personal style with visual elements largely created by our daughters, Ana and Sofia, alongside a clear commitment to recyclable materials.
