Barao de Vilar, 10yo Tawny Port, Hand Painted

A Treasure in Every Brushstroke

Tasting Notes

Barao de Vilar's superb 10-year-old Tawny Port from winemaker Álvaro van Zeller is a true classic. It boasts a deep brick colour with an amber edge and a nose rich with dried fruit, coffee, honey, and butterscotch. Layers of ripe black fruit, chocolate, and spiced oak complete its elegant aroma. On the palate, it’s silky smooth, unveiling flavours of dark and sweet jams, with a long, striking finish that lingers beautifully.

Perfect Serve

Savour this Tawny Port slightly chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with desserts like crème brûlée, apple pie, or mince pies, as well as creamy cheeses or nut pastries. A versatile delight, it’s also perfect for sipping on its own.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Patiently matured for 10 years in seasoned oak casks, this port achieves a mellow texture and refined complexity. A classic blend of Douro’s traditional red grape varieties—Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca—this wine exemplifies the craftsmanship of the Van Zeller family, whose 14 generations of dedication to Barao de Vilar have shaped a legacy of excellence since the 17th century.
