Vilafonte Series M 2020 75cl

Description

Vilafonte Series M 2020

This sensuous wine embodies a refined style and dignified elegance. A malbec and merlot dominant blend, opulent in nature, with a defining structure of cabernet sauvignon.

• The Vilafonte Series M 2020 possesses a regal, dignified character
• Beautifully nuanced, showing an attractive tension and energy
• It displays a great density of red to black colour and magenta-tinged rim
• Seductive aromas of cranberry and ripe cherry fluently segue to lush notes of black raspberry, blueberry and subtle dried thyme, owing to the merlot and malbec components of this blend
• Lifted rose petal, blonde tobacco, cacao and warm orange rind add layers of complexity
• The palate is deftly poised, with consistent weight throughout and framed by ripe, supple tannins and elegant acidity
• Smooth on entry, then broadening to display fine satin textured tannins that envelop the palate and culminating in a soft, round finish of plum, raspberry and milk chocolate
• While alluring in its youth, the 2020 Series M promises a decade or more of cellaring to realise its full potential

Vilafonte is the coming together of 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.
