Fonseca Terra Prima Porto
Lot number: 380664
Winning bid: £25
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.
