Adega Belém
Adega Belém produces wines from Lisboa, Portugal's dynamic wine region. The winery works with native Portuguese varieties—Touriga Nacional, Castelão, and Alicante Bouschet among them—crafting reds and rosés that reflect the region's character. The Reserva Tinto blends Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet into a structured wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate and Decanter. The Sem Bigode Castelão Rosé, made from Castelão, demonstrates the versatility of this traditional grape. A third expression, Rabo da Rainha Tinto, layers Arinto de Bucelas with Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet. These wines show the depth available in Lisboa's terroir, where Atlantic influence and continental warmth shape the grapes into balanced, age-worthy expressions.
