The Wine
FERREIRA LÁGRIMA is a White Porto wine, elegant and very appealing, with the genuine flavour of the best wines produced in the
Douro region with all the care and know-how acquired throughout more than 250 years of excellence, that established Ferreira as leading quality winemakers and the number one brand in Portugal.
Tasting Notes
FERREIRA LÁGRIMA has a straw colour with a fresh and intense aroma showing nuances of flowers and fruit. Ageing in wood confers
it complexity and richness. The balance of the wine is conferred at the time of harvesting when the point of halting fermentation is determined which dictates its level of alcohol - sugar. The particular sweetness of this wine gives it its unique character.
Serving Suggestions
FERREIRA LÁGRIMA is ideally served fresh as an aperitif, with salted nuts and almonds.
Storing
FERREIRA LÁGRIMA is bottled ready for drinking and will not improve if kept for a long time. The bottle should be kept upright,
protected from direct light and excessive humidity at a constant temperature (about 16º C-18º C).
Open Bottle Shelf Life
When opened it does not require decanting and maintains fresh tasting notes for about 4 weeks.
Varieties
Native traditional white varieties Malvasia Fina, Códega, Gouveio and Rabigato grown at Ferreira's leading estates in the Upper Corgo and selected private vineyards.
Winemaking
At arrival to the winemaking centre, the hand-picked grapes are gently crushed and partial destalked, followed by maceration
during alcoholic fermentation to extract as many of the components in the skins as possible. Meanwhile the temperature during fermentation is rigorously controlled and the density is closely monitored to choose the ideal time to halt fermentation by the
addition of brandy.
Ageing
After the harvest the wine stays in Douro over the winter months and it is taken to the lodges at Vila Nova de Gaia in the spring where it rests in 640 litre oak vats to begin the traditional ageing process. The end product is made from wines which when blended together show the required features of Ferreira lagrima Ports. Their ages range from two to five years producing a consistent style and average age of three years.
