"Ramos Pinto Porto Lagrima White is the sweetest of all Casa Ramos Pinto Ports with fairly high sugar content - around 136 grams per liter. To counterbalance this sugary taste, white, well-ripened grape varieties are used, which lend this wine sufficient strength and flavor to harmonize its sweet and fruity flavors. It is complex with almost exotic flavors. It is a bright, golden color, with lovely flavors of honeysuckle, white flowers, apples and pears. The finish is full and long-lasting. Serve chilled, as an aperitif or pair with foie-gras and grilled mushrooms and jam, grilled squid salad with vinaigrette sauce, or tarte tatin. Founded by Adriano Ramos Pinto in 1880, Casa Ramos Pinto rapidly became noted, at the time, for its innovative and enterprising strategy. The Ramos Pinto wines have therefore become a reference of quality. Adriano had a taste for culture and there is an onsite museum that does extensive research allowing them access to the archives in Vila Nova de Gaia, with a precious collection of documents on the production and export of wines from the late 19th century. Adriano meticulously studied the region, and eventually became owner of a number of estates with very special characteristics. Their white port is made from Codega, Malvasia Fina, Rabigato grapes."
