Introduction:
The Barros Lágrima Branco is a richly textured and sweet white Port, offering a lush combination of ripe fruit, honeyed notes, and gentle nuttiness. It’s an indulgent fortified wine perfect for sipping chilled or pairing with desserts.
Terrior:
Sourced from steep, terraced vineyards in Portugal’s Douro Valley, where schist soils, hot summers, and dramatic elevation shifts produce concentrated, characterful grapes ideal for fortified wine production.
Appearance:
Brilliant golden yellow with amber glints, showing depth and viscosity.
Nose:
Intense aromatics of ripe apricot, peach, and orange marmalade, layered with honey, acacia blossom, and a hint of toasted almond.
Palate:
Full-bodied and lusciously sweet, balanced by fresh acidity. Flavors of candied citrus peel, dried tropical fruits, and golden raisins are enriched by a soft nutty undertone and light spice.
Finish:
Long and warming—lingering sweetness carries honey, almond, and dried fruit notes with a smooth, mouth-coating texture.
Overall Impression:
A decadent and fruit-driven Lágrima-style white Port, ideal as an aperitif or paired with blue cheese, fruit tarts, or simply served chilled with roasted nuts.
