Springfield Estate LIFE FROM STONE Sauvignon Blanc Robertson RSA

From the rockiest soil on the estate, the mineral, flinty character comes to the fore. (12 x 75 cl)

Served lightly chilled, it is an ideal pre-dinner drink and a fine partner for many dishes, particularly light meats, fish and salads (12 x 75 cl)

A beautifully well-balanced, zesty and complexed wine that epitomises Sauvignon Blanc. (6 x 75 cl)

A delicious mouthful of concentrated flavour, full of red berries, cassis and spice with a backbone that gives it a classic edge. (12 x 75 cl)

Tasting Note Fresh, bright and elegant with an abundance of pure, blackcurrant fruit and even a touch of Bordeaux-like herbaceousness. Ripe and juicy, there is a warmth to the palate but the overall feel is full of zip, zest and life. Fantastic stuff. A bit about Springfield Estate Brother and sister team Abrie and Jeanette Bruwer are the complete opposite of your typical university trained have-cultured-yeast-will-travel flying winemakers. Self-taught with a profound love of the arid, rocky, unforgiving Robertson terroir that they call home, the Bruwers make wines that have a distinct sense of place. These are wines hewn from the ground rather than made to a recipe in a lab and Springfield is now one of the first names to appear on any list of ‘Top SA Wineries’. (6 x 75 cl)

Planted in 1979, these old vines produce consistently fine wine (6 x 75 cl)

This Chardonnay is very complex and multi-layered with none of the oaky, sweet characters so often found. (6 x 75 cl)

Set in the heart of the mountain-ringed Robertson Valley in South Africa's Western Cape Province, Springfield Estate is a vibrant, family-run wine farm. It is owned by the Bruwer family, fourth-generation wine farmers and ninth-generation descendants of the Bruères, French Huguenots who came to South Africa from the Loire in 1688 with bundles of vines under their arms. The present owners of Springfield, brother-and-sister team Abrie and Jeanette Bruwer, are just as dynamic and enthusiastic as their ancestors and are prepared to take risks to do what they love best (6 x 75 cl)

Springfield Estate Methode Ancienne Chardonnay is in the ancient style of Burgundy, a technique with wild yeast and no fining/filtration rarely used in the new world. The result is a wine of distinctive and classical character. It will develop slowly and is made to last, we hope, a lifetime. Tropical fruit nuances layered by lime and cream carried through to a pallet of full warm creamy mouth-feel. A big wine with classical character. (6 x 75 cl)
