Springfield Estate The Work of Time 2019

Springfield The Work Of Time is a barrel-aged red wine from the Springfield Estate winery made with the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot red varieties in Western Cape South Coast (South Africa). Springfield The Work Of Time is made with a mixture of carefully selected classic red varieties planted in the local terroir. These are strains planted in calcareous and chalk soils that took 9 years to reach maturity. They care for the vines using conventional viticulture and the harvest is carried out at night, when the grapes are fully ripe.

When the Springfield The Work Of Time grapes reach the winery they cold macerate whole in open stainless steel tanks for 10 days. That is where alcoholic fermentation takes place with native yeasts for 3 weeks. Then the wine ages in first and second year oak barrels for 24 months. It is bottled without filtering, refining or stabilising.

Springfield The Work Of Time is a wine that, as the name suggests, is the result of passing time. A red wine that presents the typical South African complexity, elegance and structure.
