The Story
Seriously Old Dirt by Vilafonté is a tribute to the ancient soils that define the estate’s identity. These "vilafontes" soils, aged 750,000 to 1.5 million years, provide a unique foundation for crafting this approachable Bordeaux-style blend. The wine reflects the balance of youthful vibrancy and layered complexity, embodying the artistry of Vilafonté’s winemaking team.
Born from a meticulous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, Seriously Old Dirt showcases rich, ripe fruit flavors with hints of spice and elegant tannins. It’s a celebration of terroir, heritage, and the pursuit of crafting wines that offer both sophistication and everyday enjoyment.
