WINE DESCRIPTION
Krohn Lagrima Fine White Port epitomizes the Lágrima style, the sweetest expression of white Port. Grown on the schistous soils of the Douro region, this intense yet elegant sweet wine captivates with notes of caramel, honey, and nut. Its equilibrium is maintained by a refreshing acidity, leading to a prolonged and alluring finish. Vinification involves closed fermentation, halted by grape brandy to retain natural sweetness. Aged in wood at Wiese & Krohn's Vila Nova de Gaia cellars, this Port is perfect chilled as an aperitif or paired with fruity desserts. Filtered for convenience, it remains enjoyable for weeks after opening, requiring no decanting.

ORIGINS
Winery: Krohn
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
