Vilafonte 2022 Series M 750ml

Vilafonté’s beguiling Series M is particularly gorgeous in the warm, generous 2022 vintage. Based on 40% Merlot and 39% Malbec, with 16% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc adding a savoury bass line, it’s a show-stoppingly stylish wine. Fresh vanilla pods and sweetly spiced oak integrate seamlessly with glowing raspberry, wild cherry and pomegranate on the nose, while the palate offers a remarkable sense of weightlessness and lift. A seriously seductive wine with an impressive sense of both plushness and energy. Spends 22 months in 30% new French oak.
