About this wine

Made from estate Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet and Cabernet Franc, Series M focuses on supple texture and expressive fruit. The 2022 vintage (building on a run of high-scoring years) shows ripe red and black berries, plum, violets and subtle spice, with a velvety mouthfeel framed by fine tannins. Ageing in French oak (a mix of new and used) adds structure and savoury complexity, but the wine remains relatively accessible in youth compared to Series C.

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.
