Lágrima (meaning 'tears') is the sweetest style of white Port.
The grapes are grown on the schistous soils of the Douro region. Vinification is in closed fermentation tanks, which is interrupted through the addition of grape brandy to preserve a high degree of natural sweetness. The wine is then aged in wood in Wiese & Krohn's cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
This is an intense yet elegant sweet wine with notes of caramel, honey, and nut - all balanced by fresh acidity and leading to a long and appealing finish.
Drink chilled as an aperitif, or with fruity desserts. It has been filtered, so won't need decanting - once opened it should 'keep' and be enjoyable for a few weeks.
Portuguese wines are rich and diverse. From the robust reds of the Douro Valley, to the elegant whites of Vinho Verde, to fortified Port and Madeira, each style and appelation showcases the country's unique grape varieties and viticultural history.
Whether you seek bold reds, crisp whites, or luscious fortified wines, Portuguese wine is a delightful journey through centuries of winemaking expertise.
Wiese & Krohn was founded in 1865 by two Norwegians - Theodor Wiese and Dankert Krohn - shipping initially to Scandinavia and Germany. In the century and a half since its foundation, Krohn has built up an outstanding reputation. They produce a remarkably complete range for a small house, and each wine excels in its category. Much of the secret lies in the high quality of their vineyards - the magical combination of terroir, locality, aspect, incline and low-yielding vines.
