Series M in Box

Pair best with hearty, flavorful, and fatty meat dishes.

The dry and windy start to spring in September 2012 produced tell-tale weather patterns for a great 2013 vintage. Our locality on the northern Simonsberg bench managed to side step the devastating winds that later wreaked havoc through many of the vineyards around Stellenbosch. Weather leading to harvest ranged from mild to very warm, allowing our grapes to reach full, balanced phenolic ripeness with ease.

The Series M 2013 matured for twenty months in French oak barrique (seventeen percent new) and a year in bottle before release. Malbec (forty-five percent) gives its suppleness and deep black fruit flavours; Merlot (thirty-four percent) provides complex red fruit aromas of raspberry, red cherry and plum, while the Cabernet Sauvignon (twenty-one percent) grounds the Series M with structure and density.

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.
