Vilafonté Series M 2023 per case

Vilafonté Series M 2023 per case

A savoury, satin-textured red blend with cranberry, loganberry, ripe plum, violet, and finely polished tannins.

The 2023 vintage was shaped by outstanding early-season conditions and a slightly extended picking window from 2 February to 1 March. A warm first half of February was followed by a cooler close, allowing freshness and balance to define the fruit. The final lots were harvested safely before early March rain, preserving the vintage’s poised tension between ripe fruit, lifted aromatics, fine tannins, and classical structure. The wine matured for 22 months in 25% new French oak barrique, with the balance in older French oak.
