Vilafonté Seriously Old Dirt 2022

The Vilfaonté Seriously Old Dirt is a great cuvée in classic French style and wonderfully combines complexity and concentration with stylish elegance. The spicy bouquet reveals aromas of sweet black cherries, cassis, sweet sandalwood and spicy plum compote. On the generous palate, this accomplished blend presents silky smooth and rounded tannins, superb concentration, excellent length, lush mouthfeel and beautiful weight. Each hectare of vines at Vilafonté is meticulously farmed and hand-picked with great care and attention to detail. This intense scrutiny, carried out right up until the wines are blended in the cellar, means that certain barrels in the legendary "Series" range of wines are not used to their full potential. Seriously Old Dirt is what could be called the winery's second wine here, named after Vilafonté's old soils where the vines have thrived and borne fruit for more than two decades.
