Porto Ferreira Tear

Ferreira Lágrima is an incomparable white Vinho do Porto, of great richness and intensity, with the genuine flavor of the best wines produced in the Douro region with the care and knowledge accumulated over more than 250 years of excellence that make Ferreira the oldest and most celebrated Portuguese Vinho do Porto brand in the world. The grapes are destemmed and vinified according to the traditional Vinho do Porto method. The fermentation, which transforms the natural sugar of the grapes into alcohol, takes place under controlled temperatures. To obtain wines like this Porto Ferreira Lágrima Branco, it is important to choose fragrant and rich grape varieties, such as Moscatel, and to pay attention to the fermentation stopping point, earlier than usual in other Portos, which allows for a higher degree of sweetness. The final balance between the body and aroma of the Vinho do Porto comes from the combination of the different characteristics of the multiple grape varieties used. The wine remains in the Douro where the cold of winter helps the deposit of lees. The following spring, after being clarified, it is transported to the Ferreira cellars in V.N.Gaia and placed in oak barrels where it will age over several years, acquiring the incomparable style of the Porto Ferreira brand. During aging, the wines are cared for and tasted by the oenology team who blend them until reaching the final blend with the characteristics and style of Porto Ferreira Lágrima Branco. The selected wines are usually between 2 and 5 years old, ensuring a final wine that is rich and balanced, about 3 years old.
