About this Item

Vilafonté
Series C, 2015
1 (1 x 1) 1500ml

Vilafonté is a high-profile, internationally collectable wine founded in 1997. Meticulous viticulture and modern cellar practices ensured that Vilafonté is at the cutting-edge of fine wine. The Merlot and Malbec dominated Vilafonté Series M offers more spice and flair, while the Cabernet Sauvignon based Vilafonté Series C is a serious and more structured wine. The maiden vintages offers a perfectly mature and poised wine almost two decades down the line. Series C and M are of the highest scoring Bordeaux-style reds in South wines, recently rated in the 2024 Robert Parker Wine Advocate report as the highest scoring red wine from South Africa, ever. Today Vilafonté is South Africa’s most luxurious and collectable red wine brand.

'nuanced and scintillating' - Zelma Long

Critics Ratings

‘Dense yet refined Cab-led Bordeaux blend with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec (19/15/9), 2015 deserves lengthy cellaring, 22 months in French oak (67% new) adding to structure, poise and persistent cedarwood perfume.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (94/100)

‘C stands for Cabernet Sauvignon, which never represents less than half of the blend. The brilliant 2015 has 19% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 9% Malbec, but it’s Cabernet Sauvignon that provides the backbone. Rich, structured and serious, with lots of cigar box perfume, fine-boned tannins and considerable potential. 2022-30.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2018, 96/100
