Vilafonte is the first American and South African joint wine- making venture within the global wine community. This ground-breaking unique red wine project is a partnership between a well respected group of quality driven wine specialists from South Africa and the United States. Vilafonte is the first winery in South Africa to be focused on producing wine specifically for the US market. The Vilafonte philosophy embodies an obsession with quality, from the soil through to the bottle, and an absolute focus on luxury positioning. The name, Vilafonte, derives from the primary soil type of the 100 acre estate, whose character forms the foundation of the wines. The Vilafonte team blends a unique combination of knowledge, skills, international perspective, and international recognition. The Vilafonte project aims to create the first Luxury Wine brand from South Africa.
