2022 Vilafonté Series C

The 2022 Vilafonté Series C is a polished South African red built around elegance, structure, and precision. Crafted in the Western Cape by one of the country’s most internationally respected producers, it reflects Vilafonté’s Bordeaux-inspired approach and commitment to world-class blends.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, vibrant color in the glass, with an expressive nose of dark berries, plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is layered and refined, combining ripe black fruit with firm tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, composed finish. The 2022 vintage is likely to show excellent balance and the sort of depth that rewards short-term cellaring. While approachable in youth with proper aeration, it should also gain complexity over the next several years, developing more savory and tertiary notes with time.

Production
Produced in the Western Cape, where warm, sunny days and cooling influences help preserve freshness and concentration, the 2022 Series C draws on carefully selected vineyard fruit to achieve balance and intensity. Vilafonté is known for meticulous harvesting and a precision-driven vinification style aimed at producing structured, age-worthy wines with a Bordeaux-inspired profile.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, roast duck, game, and richly seasoned mushroom dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes to allow the aromatics and texture to open fully.

Producer
Vilafonté is one of South Africa’s most ambitious fine-wine producers, established with a clear focus on crafting premium Bordeaux-style blends from the Western Cape. The estate has earned a strong reputation for consistency, quality, and international recognition, making it a benchmark name in the region’s modern fine-wine landscape.
