About this wine

Series C is based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with Merlot and Malbec from Vilafonté’s estate vineyards on the Simonsberg slopes in Paarl/Stellenbosch. The 2019 vintage offers profound blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, graphite, cedar, violets and dark chocolate. Ageing in French oak (most of it new) polishes the tannins and adds complexity, while the wine remains firmly structured and built for long cellaring. It has been singled out by international critics as one of the top red wines of South Africa.

Tasting Note

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (97/100) praises Series C 2019 for its density, precision and balance, with layered black and red fruits, graphite and fine, abundant tannins.

In the glass

Opaque, near-black ruby.

In the nose

Cassis, blackberry and black cherry with violets, graphite, cedar, cocoa and baking spice.

On the palate

Full-bodied, powerful and tightly knit, with intense dark fruit, firm yet ultra-fine tannins and a very long, structured finish.

Vilafonté

Vilafonté is a precision-focused, luxury wine estate in Paarl, producing small quantities of Bordeaux-inspired blends. Extensive soil mapping, parcel vinification and meticulous blending define the approach. The wines are deeply concentrated yet remarkably polished, with dark fruit, fine tannins and exceptional consistency across vintages.
