In 1996, the current Baron (Fernando van Zeller) decided to register the title for port wine and some other Portuguese top wines, in order to consolidate the family tradition.Fernando van Zeller is also the current owner of this young company.

A special sweet white port from the Barão winery. A port with a sweet and young character, but above all fruity.
