The Curators – David Lopes, Sommelier at CURA, Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon


Our Curators… They define our DNA and who we are. Here we introduce our sommelier David Lopes.

Lopes oversees the all-local wine list at CURA. The wine collection, like Lopes’ focus, pairs exquisitely with the exuberantly local, seasonal cuisine of Chef Pedro Pena Bastos. Distinct from those more celebrated wine countries, the winemakers of Portugal are known for creating blends, sometimes mixing five, six, or even seven different types of grapes. Pairing complex blends with dishes from the kitchen is “the fun part” of Lopes’ job, he says, noting Bastos’ unique way of cooking with “out-of-the-box” ingredients sourced from farmers and fishers or foraged by the kitchen team.

“It’s really interesting for me to discover our clients’ preferences and find a wine that will reward them.”
