Vilafonte is the coming together of a great wine experience from California and South Africa. Mike Ratcliffe (founding trustee of the Cape Wine Auction). Zelma Long (former head winemaker at Robert Mondavi) and Dr Phil Freese (former vice-president of Robert Mondavi).

The vision that brought together the three founding Vilafonte partners, is the culmination of a life-long dream. A determination to produce wines of complexity, structure and longevity which stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the great wines of the world. Nothing less.
