Our wines are made from native varietals grown by local vine gardeners in the Atlantic climate of the Lisbon and Setúbal wine regions. Handpicked in the freshness of the early morning hours, the grapes are brought to the winery and fermented spontaneously in open vats. Our aim is to produce outstanding wines that develop their own original personalities reflecting the particularities of each year and terroir – and of us as winemakers. Depending on the year, our production ranges between 12,000 and 16,000 bottles, which we sell in our cellar door in Belém and in the online shop.

The winery is located in Lisbon’s historic district of Belém. It is built inside an old car repair shop within the walls of the 18^th century former infirmary of the king of Portugal. We have modernized the building and integrated a modern production cellar and several cozy tasting rooms. Many artifacts of the car repair shop now feature as decor in the main tasting room, which has a capacity of 50 visitors and is open to the street. We can also accommodate smaller groups in our roof terrace room and in the bottle cellar.

Before studying winemaking and becoming winemakers, we were university researchers, Catarina, a biologist studying the mating calls (“quak quak”) of the Iberian tree frog and David, an anthropologist doing ethnography in the Western Indian Ocean. Through her research, Catarina found that female frogs generally respond to males who call in the local frog-dialect. Only in some rare cases, females fall for the unique spell of a peculiar foreign male passing by their pond, and love happens. That’s kind of our story. And that’s why the Iberian tree frog is our logo.

Taste and buy our wines directly at the winery in Belém. If you wish, hang on and combine your tastings with a selection of olives, artisan cheese, cured meat or Iberian chouriço, join one of our events, take a tasting class, or tailor-make your own wine experience. On Friday nights, we serve wine and petiscos until 20h30.

You can also order our wines in the online shop with preferential delivery rates for Portugal and many European countries.
