Springfield Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Whole Berry 2021

In order to achieve a luscious, juicy wine, we try to have as little intervention in the cellar as possible. Simply de-stemmed, the whole, uncrushed bunches are transported using only a gravity flow system. Whole berry maceration is followed by fermentation with natural yeasts, racking and one year’s maturation in oak barrels. The result is a velvety wine with softer tannins and classical varietal characteristics. This traditional wine is unfiltered and unfined, which may deposit sediment and might require decanting.

Flavours of caramelised black cherries, hints of dark spice and dark chocolate. The full palate’s smooth entry is followed by rich fruit and velvety tannins. Enjoy with mature beef, venison, lamb and ostrich dishes with berry jus or strong cheese. Pair with stuffed peppers filled with ground meat and spices, they offer a savoury match to the wine.
