Vilafonte Series C 2019

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 2019 promises a decade or more of cellaring to realise its full potential. Limited production.

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.
