Vilafonté is a distinguished South African wine producer based in Stellenbosch, founded in 1997 by the Ratcliffe family. The name refers to the distinctive ancient soils found on the estate, which are believed to have originated around 800–650 million years ago. These remarkable geological foundations inspired the winery’s philosophy of exploring the relationship between soil, vineyard and wine.

Seriously Old Dirt began as an expression of Vilafonté’s own vineyards but has evolved into a multi-vineyard, multi-region blend, drawing on carefully selected sites across the Western Cape. The wine celebrates the diversity of South Africa’s ancient soils, bringing together fruit from different locations to create a distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon-led red.

Winemaking is led by Arlene Mains, whose international experience includes time at Opus One in California and Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux. Working alongside consulting viticulturist Marko Roux, she focuses on precision, vineyard expression and balance. The result is a wine that combines South African generosity with a polished, sophisticated structure.
