High above the Rio Torto, where the vines aren't sprayed with artificial treatments, the grapes must find their own strength to withstand drought and pests. The result is a Port that tastes of the Douro Valley without detours.
Expert's Description
Graham's Natura Reserve Port is a Portuguese organic Reserve Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 20%.
The grapes for Natura Reserve are organically farmed at Quinta das Lages in the Rio Torto Valley and on vineyards in the Vale da Vilarica, both part of the Symington family's estates in the Upper Douro. The plots sit at 150-350 metres altitude, where well-aerated, dry soil gives the vines good conditions to develop their own resistance to disease, without artificial fertiliser or pesticides.
The wine is a blend of classic Douro varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Amarela. Graham's Natura was the house's first attempt at translating its classic Reserve style into fully certified organic production.

Did You Know?
Because the vines for Natura Reserve are grown without artificial treatments, they must build their own natural resistance to disease and drought — a farming method that demands far more of the grower than conventional viticulture.
