Information about "Vilafonté Seriously Old Dirt 2022"
The Vilafonté Seriously Old Dirt showcases a masterful blend that captures the essence of the terroir with remarkable complexity and sophistication. The fragrant bouquet reveals notes of luscious black cherries, rich dark chocolate, hazelnuts, and spiced plum compote. On the palate, this exceptional blend unfolds with velvety, rounded tannins, impressive concentration, and an exquisite finish, enveloping the senses in a lavish mouthfeel.
Every hectare at Vilafonté is meticulously tended, with grapes handpicked with care and precision. This rigorous attention to detail extends to the cellar, where select barrels from the esteemed "Series" wines are kept aside, allowing the Seriously Old Dirt to emerge as a second wine rich in character. It is named after the ancient soils that have nurtured its vines for over two decades.
94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 2% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc from Paarl, aged for 18 months in French oak.
