Springfield Albarino

Reminiscent and full bodied with apricot, nectarine and floral aromas, yet with a saline minerality and bright acidity, it’s a wine that continues to captivate us to this day.

Springfield Garuzis Brut

Notes of fresh granny smith apple, lime, and white peaches are beautifully complimented by hints of brioche, honey, and almonds and a zesty freshness

Springfield Life From Stone Sauvignon Blanc

Life from Stone derives its name from the amazing rocky soils in which it is grown. Every year the vineyard battles against nature in order to produce highly concentrated, powerful wines with a flinty, mineral character true to the quartz rock in which it is grown. Intense, stony, minerally Sauvignon with lime, gooseberry, freshly cut green pepper and passion fruit notes. Zippy, zesty and mouth-watering.

Springfield Methode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon

Established on a rock-infested outcrop, these old Cabernet Sauvignon vines consistently produce fine wine. Bearing a mere 17-20 barrels of premium Cabernet a year, this wine is aged in our cellar for two years in new French barriques, and a further four years in the bottles prior to its release. It’s the best we can do, and deserving of our Methode Ancienne label.

Springfield Miss Lucy

This unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Pinot Gris bursts with citrus pamplemousse flavours is an ample mouth feel, yet remarkably moderate in alcohol.

Springfield Wild Yeast Chardonnay

True to its moniker, the Wild Yeast Chardonnay is fermented using the native, wild yeasts that occur naturally on the skins of the grapes. Unwooded, it is fermented in underground cement tanks in a slow, volatile process that can take anywhere between 6 – 9 months. This method, although risky, results in magnificently expressive wine with a wisdom that is unattainable in wines made using commercial yeasts. Can be enjoyed for the next 3- 4 years.

Springfield Pinot Noir

Our love affair with Pinot Noir started in 1997 with a handful of vines planted on a rock infested outcrop. Since then, with only four vintages released in 20 years, we have replanted our vines, played around with fermentation techniques and methods, all in our pursuit of the true expression of the grape.

This elegant, yet powerful wine was fermented with wild vineyard yeasts, spent one year in barrels.

Springfield Thunder child

Full-bodied red wine that supports a charity project. Bright peony red with cherry red tears. Exuberant nose of black currants with blueberry and blackberry in front, black plum and smoked meat. Remarkable balanced taste with soft tannins and extremely wide mouth filling. Soft playful fruity long finish. Delicious with a barbecue or with roast of juicy red meat, spicy tomato salad, pasta with sweet peppers and with white mould cheeses. Serving temperature: 16°C

Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a lovely, velvety wine with softer tannins and classical varietal characteristics. This traditional wine is unfiltered and unfined, which may deposit sediment and might require decanting.

Springfield Work Of Time

This wine is a blend of 4 different grape varieties, the most dominant being Merlot followed by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and a tiny amount of Petit Verdot. It has deep “cigar box” and cassis aromas with soft yet concentrated flavours of red and dark fruit, green peppers and a long finish. Springfield’s very own Bordeaux Blend.
