From

Rooted deeply in the soil of Paarl, Vilafonté Series M 2017 is born from a union of 42% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Malbec. It’s a carefully orchestrated symphony of Old World artistry jazzed up with New World flair. The vines here deserve their own fan club, thriving in Paarl’s mix of sun-kissed days and cool, reflective nights, nurturing grapes that seem to whisper ‘luxury’.

Vilafonté, where ‘M’ perhaps stands for magic, merges meticulous crafting with nature’s unpredictability. Aging for 21 months in oak barrels is like the wine’s soul-searching phase; it emerges matured, complex, full of stories yet ready to engage.

This isn’t just wine. It’s history in a glass, it’s geography you can savor, it’s a wink at the gods of viticulture. A dense wave of berries, the nutty texture of sophistication—it begs for a dance, a toast, and just one more sip. Get ready to fall low-key obsessed.
