Made with grapes from their old vineyard, which they work organically and is planted with 30 varieties of old grapes, 15 white and 15 red. 

In the white grapes, the variety that dominates is Rabigato, a local variety adapted to the hot climate of Foz Côa. There are other varieties such as Malvasia fina, Dona Branca, Alicante white, Rabo de ovelha, Carrega, Códega, Pagadívidas…The Lágrima category is the sweetest of the white Port categories, and it is also the most lush and fragrant.  The vinification is done in concrete tanks with half crushed grapes and all whole bunches. When the fermentation starts they crush by foot the graves and then they press in a vertical press before fortifying.  This wine is all aged in Port Wine barrels “pipas” and concrete tanks. The average age is 4 years.  Golden hue. Profound aroma, with hints of ripe fruits, featuring figs and quinces, along with notes of dried fruits. On the palate, it unveils opulence and generosity while maintaining remarkable balance and an abundance of exceptional flavors.
