Product Notes
Vilafonte Seriously Old Dirt is a sophisticated South African red blend, graced with earthy undertones, reminiscent of the old dirt it is named after. It's an unrivalled testament to the Cape’s fruity richness, demonstrating a finely tuned balance of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry notes. This wine exudes intense complexity, with well-integrated wood and velvety tannins, enhancing its depth and texture. Matured within seasoned French oak barrels, it has acquired a subtle, lingering spice. This luxurious wine, full-bodied but delicately layered, represents the quintessence of refined winemaking. Ideal for those favouring wines of significant depth and refined elegance.
Tasting Notes
Seriously Old Dirt 2019 displays a brilliant, deep garnet-red colour. This wine delivers layers of fresh fruit on the nose; plum, black cherry, and blackberry along with warm notes of baking spice and vanilla pod. Subtle liquorice and seductive tobacco and hazelnut add a luxurious dimension. Flavours of ripe black cherry develop into lovely mineral notes, along with a lingering finish. Sumptuous and supple, with a line of acidity, giving elegance and balance. Though more firmly structured than recent predecessors, this vintage remains true to the essence of Seriously Old Dirt, with an approachable, youthful energy
