Vilafonte
Founded in 1997, Vilafonté was the first American and South African joint wine-making venture within the global wine community. This ground-breaking founding partnership included a well-respected group of quality driven wine specialists from South Africa and the United States. The 42ha property with its unique ancient soils, called vilafontes, served as the fuse to their winemaking vision. The defining character of the weathered soils formed the foundation for the vineyard, designed by Dr Phil Freese (previous Opus One Head of Wine Growing). High density planting, which is different by design, encourages smaller vines, lower yields and highly concentrated fruit – a canvass for the artistry to create wines of elegant complexity, structure and longevity. Vilafonté Series M and Series C are exclusively from grapes grown on this property. Vilafonté strives to encourage a philosophy of patience in the cellaring and enjoyment of their wines.
Description
The 2021 Vilafonté Series C offers a complex bouquet of dark fruits, including blueberries and black cherries, with underlying notes of violet, herbs, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, it presents luscious fruit layers, structured tannins, and vibrant acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs excellently with rich dishes such as braised lamb, grilled ribeye steak, or roasted vegetables. Its complexity also makes it a great match for aged cheeses.
