Series C 2020 displays great density of red to black colour and bright crimson rim. Deep, sensuous aromatics with clear Series C typicity of dark blue/black fruit notes. Rich layers of black currant pastille, liquorice, hints of Juniper berry and charred Cedar-wood offering appreciable sophistication. The palate is deliciously broad and harmonious, displaying “fruit sweetness” throughout. Luscious mid-palate with ripe tannins, good weight and texture. Both linear and continuous, showing perfect presence and great length. Beautifully integrated. The vintage reflects a quintessential elegance, with a core of satin-textured tannins and youthful energy. While alluring in its youth, the 2020 Series C promises a decade or more of cellaring to realise its full potential.

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.
