Product Description:
Thirty five years ago Springfield cleared a 2,8ha triangle of land previously ignored, because it was not “good” enough. Too rocky and nearly too steep, infested with thorns, with the odd abandoned ox wagon under some trees. It was Cabernet Sauvignon and their thirst for it that drove them to this forsaken place.
Their vines did grow, struggling at first – virtually no soil, roots had to creep past rocks; they took much longer to bear than others, but eventually did. The miracle was in the fruit. Tiny berries – intense in colour and flavour, this meagre crop was vinified in the traditional way. No crushing of berries, no yeast but that from their skins, no fining- additives and no filters. Wine made by itself, kept for two years in the best new French-oak barrels, fit for this wonder.
Finally they could bottle, but the agony was not yet over. After three more years’ wait for maturation in bottles they reluctantly released the first Méthode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 vintage. So long had they lived with this wine, that to trade it for money was painful. It was a piece of their history, their passion, labour and luck they were selling. It is their finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the best they can do. Will age for another 15-20 years.
