Vilafonte Series C 2020

The cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc defines the style of this wine. Firm, powerful and concentrated; rich in fruit at release and blended for longevity. Velvety in nature with primary red fruits.

While alluring in its youth, the Vilafonte Series C 2020 promises a decade or more of cellaring to realise its full potential. Limited production.

• 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

Vilafonte is the coming together of a great wine experience from California and South Africa. Mike Ratcliffe (founding trustee of the Cape Wine Auction). Zelma Long (former head winemaker at Robert Mondavi) and Dr Phil Freese (former vice-president of Robert Mondavi).

The vision that brought together the three founding Vilafonte partners, is the culmination of a life-long dream. A determination to produce wines of complexity, structure and longevity which stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the great wines of the world. Nothing less.
