Vilafonté Series C 2017 - Vilafonté

This long-lasting, elegant Vilafonte Series C is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. It appears crimson red in the glass and impresses with a wonderful bouquet of cassis, liquorice and pleasant oak wood. The Series C inspires in the mouth with elegant liquorice aromas and pleases with a good concentration, strength and structure. An extremely noble wine, strong, concentrated and structured. Complex aromas of elderberry and currant, fine nuances of herbs, mocha, lavender and liquorice caress the palate.

The aim of Vilafonté is to produce top quality from the vineyard to the bottle. In addition to Mike Ratcliffe from Warwick, Dr. Freese (formerly Chief Viticulturist of Robert Mondavi Winery) and Zelma Long (former Chief Oenologist of Robert Mondavi Winery) are also responsible for the luxury winery. The name Series C stands for a Cabernet dominated cuvée.

Food recommendation for the Vilafonte Series C

We recommend these South Africans for hearty meat dishes such as beef fillet with bacon and tomato crust or stewed lamb wagtail with celery puree.
