Vilafonté Winery, named after the ancient Vilafontes soils of the region, is located on the bench of the Simonsberg Mountains in South Africa. Their vineyards contain one of the oldest soil types in the world, with healthy, nutrient-deficient topsoils that have not been disturbed for millennia. Vilafonte’s expert team includes Dr. Phil Freese, who spent 13 years as Robert Mondavi’s VP of Wine Growing and was instrumental in designing the first Opus One Vineyards.

 

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec are planted at a high density on the estate, encouraging smaller vines with smaller yields of highly concentrated fruit. The 2019 Seriously Old Dirt is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend matured in used French oak barrels allowing the characteristics of the Vilafontes soils and the regional terroir to speak through the wine.
