2007 was a powerful vintage, & Vilafonte’s Series M reflects that with its intensity. Particular characteristics of the vintage were earlier ripening, picking at lower sugars, & lovely ripe tannins. Our Malbec typically has gobs of dark blackberry fruit with fleshy, round tannins. The Merlot adds richer texture while the Cabernet Sauvignon tannins give intensity & structure, working as the foundation for the blend. Cabernet Franc adds nuanced aromatics & helps polish the wine. Rich on the palate from start to finish, the complexity of the flavours of cocoa powder, floral notes & black cherry make this blend a great expression of our estate vineyard site. The wine’s deep color, almost red-black, displays the intensity & ripeness of the grapes in the 2007 harvest. Weather: The 2007 season had cool evenings & mornings, with a normal alternating rhythm of cooler & warmer days. Warm days just before harvest contributed to the intensity of the Merlot in the Series M. Very little rain fell during the last months of ripening. It was excellent weather to achieve these profound wines. ...

Vilafonte - Series 'C' 2008 6x 75cl Bottles

The 2008 vintage started warm but gave way to cooler temperatures in February and March for our harvest, giving us even ripening, acid retention, and fine phenolic ripeness. Volumes were significantly restricted due to variable weather at flowering. The vintage produced the most refined 'Series C' we have made, and is unique in that there is no Cabernet Franc in the blend. The 2008 'Series C' has aged 24 months, primarily in new French oak barrels and then for 12 months in the bottle. Pre-release tasting shows deep red-black colour, abundant, layered primary fruit and secondary savouryaromas, black currants, Morello cherry preserve, cocoa powder and balsamic. On the palate entry the wine is soft with fruit sweetness. In the mid palate it broadens to reveal flavour intensity and
the traditional Series Cstructure. The Vilafonte C is marked by soft polished tannins, well-integrated oak and an elongated finish. Decanting before the meal will provide intensified aromatics. Cellaring of this young wine will reward the collector.
