Tasting Note

The Series M 2017 displays a dark mulberry hue, with inky depth. Attractive in its subtlety, this wine displays pure, elevated aromas of cranberry, ripe raspberry and sour cherry fruit. The aroma palette is further nuanced by vanilla, pencil shavings, cedar and toasty baking spice. Finally, fragrant Lilac invokes a delicate floral headiness. Lean and poised on entry, a fine core of acidity supports its succulent mid-palate. The tannins are fine-grained and velvety, adding plushness. Nothing is rushed with this wine. It continually builds in intensity, showing fullness of body and a long finish of blue fruit. Series M 2017 is quietly assertive. Although immediately engaging, cellaring will reward the patient collector.

Product Notes

Vilafonte Series M is a premium red wine that embodies a remarkable balance of elegance and potency. This South African blend of 56% Merlot, 31% Malbec, and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, offers rich aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, with hints of vanilla and mocha. The palate is full-bodied and complex, with intense flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, blackberry, and subtle notes of spice. The tannins are firm but silky, providing a smooth and lingering finish. This bold and opulent wine pairs best with hearty meat dishes. Vilafonte Series M is truly a benchmark for the quality and excellence of South African winemaking.
