About the Producer
Fonseca has belonged in the first rank of Vintage Port producers since the 19th century. Its Vintage Ports are noted for their luscious fruitiness which displays great opulence and complexity.Fonseca’s three quintas are at the heart of the House’s idiosyncratic style of Port. Quinta do Panascal was one of the first properties to have organically certified vineyards as early as 1992, whilst Quinta de Santo António is a prize-winning model of sustainable viticulture producing both grapes and olive oil. In 2002, Fonseca were the first to produce a fully organic Port, the Fonseca Terra Prima, produced from a specific vineyard plot managed by head winemaker David Guimaraens.
