AN INDEPENDENT WINERY INSIDE LISBON
Urban wine. Crafted for conversation.
Set within a repurposed automotive workshop in Lisbon’s Belém district, Adega Belém is now the winemaking atelier of enologists Catarina Moreira and David Picard who bring the technical artistry of the cellar into the heart of the city.
OPENING TIMES: Thur 11h-16h. Fri 15h-22h (Private groups by appointment.)
“Remarkable, fearlessly experimental urban winery in Lisbon”
Julia Harding, Jancis Robinson Tasting Notes
URBAN TERROIR
“In our repurposed Belém workshop, we have traded mechanical assembly for the meticulous vinification of indigenous varietals, creating a space for experimentation and hospitality.”
Catarina Moreira & David Picard, founders & winemakers
01 URBAN WINEMAKING WITH AN EXPERIMENTAL SPIRIT
Every wine begins with possibilities. At our winery, we explore how a curious oenology can create new textures, unexpected varietal expressions and surprising variations on the themes of Atlantic terroir. Minimal intervention, wild yeasts, low sulfur, amphorae, inox and barrel shape wines of clarity, poise and Atlantic character, in small series of 500 to 2,500 bottles.
02 CRAFTED FOR CONVERSATION
We share the conviction that good wine makes for better conversations. For us, wine is meant to be opened and drunk while we are most alive: at a table, among people. Join us in the tasting room for a glass, or let us host a private dinner, tasting or gathering for your group, and make memories to take home.
03 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
We are a family business where three generations work together and everyone has a part, from grape picking, help in the cellar to the labels our daughters draw. We work with healthy, small-scale vineyards nearby, pay our growers and collaborators fairly, keep waste and energy use to a minimum, and use recyclable packaging.

VIOSINHO • SKIN CONTACT • BÂTONNAGE
Monstros de Lisboa 2025
Fresh lime and green apple meet a delicate, creamy texture and a bright, lingering finish.
A delicate expression of Viosinho, shaped by seven days of cold maceration and spontaneous fermentation. Fresh citrus and green apple meet a rounded, creamy texture, balanced by vibrant acidity.
EUR 18,50 – 0,75L (EUR 24,66/L)
MOSCATEL GRAÚDO • BRUT SPARKLING • PÉTNAT LISBOA
Lazy Fogaça 2025
Mint, orange peel and black tea, with a fresh, fruity palate, fine texture and a gently hazy appearance.
Made from late-harvested Moscatel Graúdo grown in a north-facing vineyard in Setúbal. The grapes are foot-trodden and fermented spontaneously, without added sulphur. Bottled before fermentation is complete, with 12 g/L of residual sugar, the wine finishes fermenting in the bottle. After eight months on the lees, each bottle is manually disgorged à la volée.
EUR 18,50 – 0,75L (EUR 24,66/L)
ALICANTE BOUSCHET • LOWER ALCOHOL • COOL ATLANTIC
Belém Black 2025
Pomegranate, eucalyptus and red berries, with a deep colour, cool freshness and a structured, full-bodied palate.
A cool-climate expression of Alicante Bouschet, grown in a sheltered Atlantic valley north of Sintra. Once valued primarily for its intense colour, this deeply pigmented variety reveals a different character in a cooler setting. Hand-harvested late in the season, the grapes are foot-trodden and fermented spontaneously in 200-litre clay amphorae, allowing the fruit, skins and stems to shape the wine’s structure and tannins.
EUR 22,50 – 0,75L (EUR 30,00/L)
