Buy Vilafonté Series M 2011 – Iconic Red Wine from South Africa’s Western Cape

Vilafonté Series M 2011 is a luxurious, full-bodied red blend crafted from Merlot (45%), Malbec (41%), Cabernet Sauvignon (13%), and Cabernet Franc (1%). This critically acclaimed vintage from the esteemed Vilafonté winery in South Africa’s Western Cape embodies the excellence of New World winemaking with Old World elegance.

Boasting an ABV of 14%, this wine is ideal for connoisseurs looking to buy fine red wine online or collectors seeking cellar-worthy investment bottles. Each case includes 6 x 75cl bottles, perfect for sharing or long-term aging.

Tasting Notes: Deep, Bold, and Seductively Complex

The 2011 Series M displays a deep ruby hue with a vivid purple rim, foreshadowing its richness and depth. The bouquet is opulent yet refined, offering pomegranate, black cherry, and boysenberry layered with notes of baking spice, fresh pastry, espresso, and a grounding aroma of teak wood shavings.

On the palate, the texture is supple, seamless, and silkily structured, with concentrated flavours of black raspberry, cherry compote, and lingering coffee and spice on the finish. This is a powerful red wine that retains its finesse, making it both immediately drinkable and highly age-worthy.
