From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

This red wine from Vilafonte is one of South Africa's finest wines. Yes, you read that right. It absolutely occupies the top spot on the podium. Few red wines can match the exquisite quality of this breathtaking wine. Vilafonte is located in the iconic town of Stellenbosch, which has been crucial to South African winemaking. With well-known neighbors like Neethlingshof, Jordan, and Aaldering, Vilafonte is in excellent company.

Vilafonte Series M is composed of three grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. These are grown on the most exceptional vineyards in Stellenbosch, at the foot of the mighty Simonsberg Mountains, which tower impressively above the rest of the landscape. The vines have already reached a certain age, resulting in exceptionally high bunch quality. The process of producing a bottle of Vilafonte Series M is time-consuming, but it's worth every minute. After being hand-harvested, the juice is aged for at least 36, but often 42, months in oak barrels in Vilafonte's impressive cellars. Only after the express permission of the winemaker are the bottles of Vilafonte Series M allowed to leave the cellars.

Vilafonte Series M is a unique wine. Only a few hundred bottles are brought to the Netherlands each year. A bottle of this South African wine is therefore a rarity. However, it is a rarity where both the aroma and the taste transport you to paradise. We call this liquid perfection. The aroma is a sight to behold. You smell eerie notes of jam, cherry fruit, and spices. Hints of cedarwood, vanilla, and dark chocolate bring you to ecstasy. The taste is at least as magnificent as the aroma. With magnificent aromas of vanilla, cedarwood, spices, tobacco, and plums that gently settle on your taste buds, we can truly consider Vilafonte Series M a masterpiece. The finish is captivating. A velvety purity, dominated by cherries and flowers, is sure to bring a smile to your face. It is therefore no wonder that Vilafonte Series M is considered one of the finest wines from South Africa.
