Uva Mira<br />

Uva Mira is a family-owned boutique winery,<br />

perched on the slopes of the majestic<br />

Helderberg Mountains in the Stellenbosch<br />

region, an area that has consistently been<br />

producing some of the best wines in the<br />

country for years. Its vineyards are the<br />

highest in the region. These unique highaltitude<br />

mountain vineyards are located<br />

between 420 and 620 metres above sea<br />

level, providing a cooler climate terroir<br />

that allows their elegant wines to reflect<br />

a true sense of place and uncompromising<br />

quality.<br />

The nose is fresh and well defined. The palate<br />

red-berried fruit, a touch of dark cherry and<br />

boysenberry with a hint of chocolate on the<br />

being entertained.<br />

ITEM 120 VILAFONTÉ<br />

SERIES M 2005<br />

52% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />

17% Malbec<br />

Cases: 20 (6 x 750ml)<br />

Reserve price per case: R 1,500<br />

A% 14.92 RS 2.00 TA 5.30 ph 3.67<br />

Free SO2 26 Total SO2 79<br />

Series M has a smooth entrance on the palate;<br />

very even weight for its whole length, and<br />

some ‘fruit sweetness’ in its middle and finish.<br />

Its aromatics are open and inviting: black<br />

cherry jelly, dried flowers, hints of almonds.<br />

The fruit intensity, combined with Cabernet<br />

structure and sense of roundness and richness,<br />

promises that this will be a long ageing wine.<br />
