How about

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/unique.shtml

Example 8 uses

  res at lbOrientation        = "Vertical"
  res at lbTitleString        = "Sea Surface Temperature (deg C)" ; bar title
  res at lbTitlePosition      = "Right"                           ; title location
  res at lbTitleDirection     = "Across"                          ; letter angle
  res at lbTitleAngleF        = 90.                               ; title angle
  res at lbTitleFontHeightF   = 0.02                              ; font height

Does that do?
