Portrait of Jean-Daniel Porta
i. Biography
Jean-Daniel Porta is a Swiss vigneron-encaveur at Domaine Porta in Villette, Lavaux, where the family estate cultivates grapes, vinifies wines, and sells them directly. The estate describes its approach as favoring varietal purity and producing traditional Lavaux wines such as Chasselas, Œil-de-Perdrix, and Pinot Noir, along with specialties including Pinot Gris, a sweet wine called La Faveur du Temps, Plant Robert, and Merlot. A 2022 profile noted that he had taken over the family domaine 27 years earlier, and VAUDVINS reported the domaine received the 2020 prize for best Vaud wine.
