Product details
At arrival to the winemaking centre, the hand-picked grapes are gently crushed and partial destalked, followed by maceration during alcoholic fermentation to extract as many of the components in the skins as possible. Meanwhile the temperature during fermentation is rigorously controlled and the density is closely monitored to choose the ideal time to halt fermentation by the addition of brandy. After the harvest the wine stays in Douro over the Winter months and it is taken to the lodges at V.N.Gaia in the Spring where it rests in 640 litre oak vats to begin the traditional ageing process. The end product is made from wines which when blended together show the required features of Porto Ferreira Lágrima White. Their ages range from two to five years producing a consistent style and average age of three years.
