Krohn Lágrima White, DOC Porto NV
20% abv 
Douro, Portugal
Codega, Verdelho, Rabigato
Lágrima (meaning 'tears') is the sweetest style of white Port.
 
Production
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.
Tasting notes
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.
Food match
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.
