In 2006, Fonseca was the first company to launch a fully certified organic

port, thereby, pioneering the category. Led by winemaker, David Guimaraens, and his viticultural team, it is one of the first truly organic Ports to be developed in the Douro, based on knowledge obtained from the long term management of a plot which has been farmed organically at Fonseca’s Quinta do Panascal since 1992.

 

In 2002, Terra Prima Organic Reserve became a reality using grapes

grown in the Douro Valley from an entire vineyard which is farmed

organically and actively managed by Guimaraens and his team. The last

stage in the development was to locate a specialist distiller with the ability

to produce top quality organic fortifying spirit which would be approved by

the Port Wine Institute. This was achieved and certification awarded by

Ecocert, Portugual.
