Vilafonte
Vilafonté is a Stellenbosch wine estate recognised for producing some of South Africa's most sought-after Bordeaux-style red blends. Best known for Series C and Series M, the winery combines meticulous vineyard selection with a long-term approach to crafting wines built for both immediate enjoyment and extended cellaring.
Description
Our Cabernets typically show bright flavours, black fruit and excellent acidity at harvest; never requiring acid additions to the fermentations and this vintage was typical. With 24 months in French oak barrels and 12 months in the bottle, as of July 2010 Series C has gained great aromatic intensity and complexity. The nose “jumps out” with opulent aromas of black currant, dark cherry, licorice, chocolate, leather and fantastic well-integrated oak. Due to the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), this wine displays a solid structured frame, which compliments the wines fruit while lending to the incredible concentration and length. A “big wine”, Series C will be enhanced by decanting before serving, and will reward years of cellaring with increased complexity.
Food Pairing
Series C will fit well now with intense flavoured red meat and game.
