The name of this wine is entwined with a legend. According to the story, God cried when he found a corner of Heaven stolen by Lucifer and where his tears fell, there grew the grapes that make Lacryma Christi, which translates as "tears of Christ."  Made from 100% Coda di Volpe grown in volcanic soil, this wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve its unique, fresh profile.

Pale yellow in color, aromas of pear and other tree fruits complement undertones of white peach and licorice.  On the palate, strident minerality and good body make this a well-structured, food-friendly wine.

This wine is great as an aperitif, but it also pairs well with shrimp cocktails, Lyonnaise sauces, seafood risottos, and calamari friti.

McWilliam’s has a long and prestigious history in producing fortified wines. With its wealth of experience, McWilliam’s affords its wines time to cellar and releases them only when they have reached optimum maturity. Christmas cake, chocolate, toffee and lifted floral Muscat grape characters. Intense concentration, lusciousness and depth with Christmas pudding, burnt toffee and raisins with a distinct rancio character cleansing the finish.

Enjoy with decadent dark chocolate tart, premium aged cheeses, or simply on its own.

Strong ruby-red with a violet tint. Ripe morello cherries, mint and blackberries. Pleasant, fresh, clear and expressive
