Vilafont? is the first American and South African joint wine-making venture. This ground-breaking red wine project is a partnership between a respected group of wine specialists from South Africa (Mike Ratcliffe) and the United States (Zelma Long and Dr. Phil Freese). The name Vilafont? is derived from the primary soil type of the 100-acre estate. Recorded as one of the oldest soil types in the world (somewhere between 750 000 and 1.5mil years old), this character forms the foundation of these wines The age of the soil is important as it is deeply evolved and has been stripped of much of its inherent capacity, that encourages smaller vines, lower yields and highly concentrated fruit.

Tasting Notes
Its aromatics are open and inviting. This wine characteristically shows black cherry jelly, dried flowers, hints of almonds and pine nuts. M has a silky entrance on the palate, very even weight for its whole length, and some ?fruit sweetness? in its middle and finish; even some chewy milk chocolate notes. The Series M 2006 is the perfect combination of elegance, supple fruitfulness and hidden concentration.
