It takes patience to raise children, and exactly the same dedication when you make fine wine — that’s what makes Seriously Old Dirt by Vilafonté the ideal gift for a seriously cool dad.
Dubbed “the official wine of Father’s Day”, Seriously Old Dirt is a red blend named after the ancient soils in which Vilafonté’s vines have been growing for almost two decades. So ancient, in fact, that Stone Age cutting tools were found on the surface of these soils.
The discovery of these tools shows that this particular region of the Cape winelands has never experienced glaciation, volcanic disturbances or more recent sedimentary deposits, meaning the top soils have been undisturbed for millennia.
These healthy, but nutrient-deficient soils cradle the vines into producing wines driven by character, purity and refinement with a perfect tension unique to each vintage produced.
