Barros Lágrima White Port – Sweet and elegant port from Douro

Barros Lágrima White Port is a classic and seductive port from Portugal’s famous Douro Valley. Here tradition, warm sunny vineyards and generations of experience come together in a port that is known for its elegant sweetness and silky smooth character. Lágrima means “tear” in Portuguese and refers to the wine’s full-bodied and naturally sweet style – the sweetest type of white port that retains a beautiful freshness.

This white port is perfect for those who want a port with both depth and finesse. It offers a harmonious balance of honeyed sweetness, ripe fruit and soft nutty nuances. The result is a wine that is intense without being heavy, delivering a round and pleasant experience from the first sip to the last.

Barros Lágrima can be enjoyed in several ways. It works great as an aperitif, served slightly chilled, but is also an ideal accompaniment to desserts or cheeses. Many also choose to enjoy it on its own as an elegant sipping glass, where the sweetness and aromas of the wine can truly unfold.

The history of Barros

Barros was founded in 1913 by Manuel de Almeida under the name Almeida & Ca. The vision was to create a port wine house with a focus on quality and tradition – an ambition that was quickly realized. Within a few decades, the house achieved great recognition and by the 1970s, Barros accounted for a significant portion of Portugal’s port wine production.

The house is particularly known for its Colheita Ports, which are single-vintage Ports aged for many years in oak barrels. This dedication to quality and aging has given Barros a strong position among the world’s port producers. Since 2006, the house has been part of the Sogevinus Group, which is also behind well-known port houses such as Kopke and Burmester.
