Natalia Jessa is at the forefront of becoming the new face of Portuguese wines. Having relocated to Portugal for love from Poland via Ireland to Oporto, Natalia Jessa has taken a grasp of what is virtually an underserved market for inexpensive and incredibly delicious Portuguese wine.
Having been a buyer at one of England's top food and wine markets, Tesco, for years where she studied wine through WSET, when she arrived to live in Portugal, Natalia developed her own distribution company to fulfill the needs of her various employers and clients over the years.
She quickly recognized an opportunity to collaborate with some of the country’s best vintners to bottle lovely expressions from wineries in each region, using only local varieties. Natalia leverages long-standing relationships and vineyard knowledge in each region where she orchestrates the entire production in conjunction with a “winemaker on the ground." Each local expert friend helps Natalia source the most organic grapes from the best soils for each native grape variety within each region. These wines are very unique and true to place.
All of her wines named themselves. After releasing their bouquets, Natalia chose floral names and elegant designs to represent how the wines express themselves aromatically.
