Tasting Notes

Adega Belem ArintoAdega Belem ArintoAdega Belém Arinto is a distinct white wine produced by Adega Belém, an innovative urban winery set inside a former auto repair shop in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. The winery, founded by former academics who transitioned to low-intervention winemaking, is known for its experimental and minimalist approach.

Sourced from the inner-city vineyards of Lisbon University (Tapada da Ajuda).

A highly natural variation where the grapes are foot-stomped and undergo spontaneous fermentation in traditional 200L clay amphoras (tarrecos). The wine ages on the skins for months, protected from oxygen using a thin layer of organic extra virgin olive oil rather than sulfur.
