• The palate bursts with an abundance of more red and black berry fruits

Seriously Old Dirt is a wine named after their ancient vilafontes soils in which the vines have been growing for decades.

The wine consists of cabernet sauvignon (89%), malbec (8%), merlot (2%) and cabernet franc (2%).

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. An uncompromising determination to produce wines of complexity, structure and longevity which stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the great wines of the world. Nothing less.
