About this Item

Vilafonté
Series C, 2006
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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.

'elegant and powerful' - Zelma Long

Critics Ratings

‘Harmonious 2006 cab-led blend, with 40% merlot & splash cab f for aromatic lift. Compact, ripe polished blackcurrant & plum fruit currently masked by resolute but seamless tannins, long finish. 95% new Fr oak.’  Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2009, 5*

'This is concentrated and winey, but nicely integrated already, with briar, blackberry, mulled currant, black tea and dark cocoa notes all gliding through the sleek, fine-grained finish, where a perfumy hint lingers. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc'. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Jun 2010)
