Barao de Vilar, 30yo Tawny Port, Hand Painted

Three Decades of Perfection

Tasting Notes

Barao de Vilar’s superb 30-Year-Old Tawny Port, crafted by winemaker Álvaro van Zeller, is a true testament to the art of ageing. Its deep brick colour with amber edges hints at the richness within. The nose is an elegant symphony of dried fruits, coffee, honey, and butterscotch, complemented by ripe black fruit, chocolate, and spiced oak. On the palate, it is silky smooth, offering layers of raisin, dark jam, and candied walnuts, with a long, striking finish that leaves a lasting impression.

Perfect Serve

Best enjoyed slightly chilled, this 30-Year-Old Tawny Port is a versatile delight. Pair it with desserts like crème brûlée, apple pie, or mince pies, or serve it alongside nut pastries and creamy cheeses for an unforgettable treat. Its complex flavours also shine beautifully when savoured on its own.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Patiently matured for three decades in seasoned oak casks, this port achieves a softened, mellow texture and unmatched depth. A classic blend of traditional Douro grape varieties—Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca—it reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and passion of the Van Zeller family. With 14 generations of winemaking expertise dating back to the 17th century, Barao de Vilar remains a proud custodian of Douro’s rich heritage. Encased in a hand-painted bottle, this port is a visual and sensory masterpiece.
