Barao de Vilar, 20yo Tawny Port, Hand Painted

Two Decades of Refined Excellence

Tasting Notes

Barao de Vilar’s superb 20-Year-Old Tawny Port, crafted by winemaker Álvaro van Zeller, is the result of two decades of careful maturation in seasoned oak casks. This tawny gem displays a deep brick colour with amber highlights and an intense, complex nose of dried fruit, coffee, honey, and butterscotch. On the palate, it’s silky smooth, with notes of raisin, dark jam, and ripe black fruit, enhanced by hints of chocolate and spiced oak. Its long, striking finish lingers beautifully.

Perfect Serve

Serve slightly chilled to unlock its full bouquet of aromas. Pair this exceptional port with desserts like crème brûlée, apple pie, or nut pastries, or enjoy alongside creamy cheeses and mince pies. It also makes a luxurious standalone treat to conclude a special meal.

Artisan Craftsmanship

This 20-Year-Old Tawny is a classic blend of Douro’s traditional red grape varieties, including Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. Aged to perfection, it achieves a mellow, softened texture and remarkable depth. The Van Zeller family, with their winemaking legacy dating back to the 17th century, continues their dedication to Barao de Vilar with this exquisite port. Each hand-painted bottle reflects the heritage and artistry behind its creation.
