Adega Belém Lili Cellar Dog Selection Tinto 2020

Adega Belém is an urban winery ingeniously crafted within a former car repair shop, nestled in the charming Belém neighbourhood of Lisbon.

Their winemaking philosophy is centred around minimal intervention, focusing on preserving the diverse yeast strains found in the vineyard and nurturing the distinct varietal and terroir expressions within the cellar. Adding a touch of whimsy to their team is Lili, the spirited chocolate Labrador, who takes charge of the blending process for this wine. While the fruit always hails from Alenquer vineyards, each vintage sees a slight variation in the blend. The wine is crafted with simplicity in mind, using stainless steel vats.

Despite the inevitable vintage nuances, the consistent style they aim for is an approachable, everyday wine. Expect an abundance of ripe, berry fruit notes, a touch of velvety chocolate richness, well-defined tannic structure, and a refreshing acidity. This wine is the perfect companion for your daily dining adventures, offering a delightful and easily accessible food pairing experience.
