Baronesa de Vilar Port Finish 2016

Portugal’s legendary Van Zeller family have made premium wine in the Douro Valley since 1715. Always looking to innovate, they decided to bring together their two strongest suits – luscious Port and bold (dry) reds – in their first-ever Port-barrel-aged Reserva. And when we offered the inaugural release to our customers, it promptly sold out.

But the good news is, it’s back. And this time, it’s so delicious, it scored a 90-point gold medal from prestigious wine guide, Gilbert & Gaillard.

It’s everything fans of BIG, luscious reds look for in a wine. Crafted from the country’s flagship grape, Touriga Nacional, it offers up wave after wave of blackberry, candied plum, and toasty spice notes. Here’s 15th-generation winemaker Alvaro van Zeller on what else is in store:

“Our second release of this limited-edition Douro Reserva was aged 12 months in barrels that we previously used to mature our favorite vintage Port. The result is a super-rich dry red that’s a little smoother, a little rounder, and a little more luxurious. Enjoy!”

If you missed out the first time, you do not miss it again (trust us!).
