A red wine blend made up predominantly of cabernet sauvignon. Maturing Vilafonte Seriously Old Dirt takes place for eighteen months in French oak barrels.

• A South African red wine displaying notes of ripe red and black berries such as strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants
• The palate bursts with an abundance of more red and black berry fruits
• Intertwined with drops of spice, excellent tannins and a youthful, elegant nature

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.
