Vilafonte - Series M 2007 6x 75cl Bottles

Product Description

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.
