Springfield Estate LIFE FROM STONE Sauvignon Blanc Robertson RSA
Description: Tasting Note Intense, stony, minerally Sauvignon with lime, gooseberry, freshly cut green pepper and passion fruit notes. Zippy, zesty and mouthwatering. 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’. If you ever get the chance to go and visit Jeanette and Abrie at Springfield, you'll understand why this single vineyard Sauvignon is called Life from Stone. The rocky, arid terroir looks just about the most inhospitable place a plant could choose to grow. Make no mistake, these vines really struggle for their art. Their efforts are well worth it though, as the hardship seems to push them to ever greater heights. Intense and minerally, this would beat many a top Sancerre in a pepsi challenge. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £60.00

Jackson Wine Estates ANAKOTA Helena Dakota Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley Sonoma County
Description: Part of Jackson Wine Estates the fruit for this wine is sourced exclusively from estate-owned vineyards. Anakota is a collection of single vineyard, single varietal, Knights Valley appellation wines that personify the rustic elegance and spirit of rural Sonoma County.

After ageing 14 months in 100% new French oak barrels this Cabernet Sauvignon single varital wine is considered by Winemaker Pierre Seillan to be: 'A vibrant, dark ruby colour of this wine is followed by a vivacious cherry and violet nose. The fruit-forward flavors begin with red berry enhanced by a slight hint of wood. Helena Dakota's powerful fruit flavour continues to unfold, with black fruit and a note of cedar. The impressive structure of this wine, coupled with soft tannins, lends to a long, refined finish.' (6 x 75 cl) Price: £195.69
