86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc
"Youthful, deep ruby-red in color. This Cabernet-based blend exudes rich layers of fresh fruit on the nose; black raspberry, ripe strawberry, plum, and black currant. Undertones of star anise, nutmeg, and fragrant tobacco-leaf add to the hedonistic experience. The vintage reflects a quintessential elegance, with a core of satin-textured tannins and youthful energy.
Vilafonté is the first American and South African joint wine-making venture. This ground-breaking red wine project is a partnership between a respected group of wine specialists from South Africa (Mike Ratcliffe) and the United States (Zelma Long and Dr. Phil Freese). The name Vilafonté is derived from the primary soil type of the 100-acre estate. The soil in these vinyeards has been recorded as one of the oldest soil types in the world—somewhere between 750,000 and 1.5 million years old. The character of the soil is what forms the foundation of Vilafonté wines. It has deeply evolved over the centuries, and has been stripped of much of its inherent capacity, which encourages smaller vines, lower yields and highly concentrated fruit." - WINERY NOTES
