Maynard's Port

Late Bottled Vintage Port
Exclusive to VWP

Maynard's history dates back to 1652 when Walter Maynard, the illustrious ancestor of the Van Zeller family, became one of the first British merchants to ship Port from Oporto

Unfiltered LBV Ports, if stored in a cool place (store approximately 8°C to 10°C) after the bottle has been opened, can provide enjoyment for two sometimes three weeks. For filtered LBV Ports, these typically can last up to 10 to 12 days after being open, without any obvious deterioration of quality.

Vintage Port
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Maynard’s 2017 Vintage Port is a bold and expressive wine crafted by the Van Zeller family under the Barão de Vilar label. Made from classic Douro grapes—including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Barroca—this vintage showcases the power and structure of an exceptional harvest. After vinification, it was aged for two years in oak before bottling unfiltered, setting the stage for long-term ageing in bottle.

On the nose, the wine offers an intense bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, plum compote, and hints of dark chocolate and warm spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, with structured tannins that support layers of fresh black fruits, cocoa, and subtle floral notes. …

Vintage Port
99 points- Wine Enthusiast

Maynard’s 2016 Vintage Port, crafted by Barão de Vilar under the Van Zeller family, is a striking example of the exceptional 2016 vintage in the Douro Valley.

On both the nose and palate, it delivers deep, dark fruit flavours—blackberry, cherry, and damson—complemented by notes of cocoa, vanilla, and a gentle spice. …

Colheita Port in Decanter
Exclusive to VWP

The 1975 Maynard’s Colheita Port is a beautifully aged single-harvest tawny, matured in seasoned oak casks for decades before bottling. Colheita Ports differ from Vintage Ports in that they spend extended time in barrel rather than bottle, developing extraordinary complexity, softness, and layered depth. This 1975 expression reflects nearly half a century of careful maturation, offering a taste of history in every glass.

In the glass, it shows a glowing amber-brown hue with olive-green tinges at the rim — a signature of long barrel aging. The nose is intensely aromatic, bursting with dried fruits, roasted nuts, orange marmalade, and hints of vanilla, old leather, and exotic spices. …
