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)

SpringfieldEstate WHOLE BERRY Cabernet Sauvignon Robertson RSA
Description: 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 SpringfieldEstate 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) Price: £70.04

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.

SpringfieldEstate METHODE ANCIENNE Chardonnay Robertson RSA
