Springfield Estate
Springfield Estate is a winery located in Robertson Valley in the Western Cape of South Africa that has been in the Bruwer family (descendants of Bruères of the Loire, France) for four generations. The grapes for these handcrafted wines are grown in lime-rich soils with rocky, clay and sandy elements. The nearby Breede River acts as a climate moderator, cooling the vineyards in the heat of summer to balance the fruit. Their motto: “from the grape to the bottle with care and passion.” The estate specializes in Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux blends and Pinot Noir.
– Description from Amanda Schuster
The quality of this wine is extraordinarily high, and even at $55+ it is an excellent value. Estate grown, made, and bottled by 9th generation French winemakers. It is a South African gem with the soul of a Frenchman. kybecca.com

Sometimes we get used to paying upwards of $100 for a nice bottle of wine from the wine shop. Those are the 'good days' that we want to remember, but soon you notice your bank account is dropping faster than Trumps approval rating, so you start looking for more value-oriented wines that are tasty in their own right.When you find a nice wine tha...

Do you enjoy red wine? A must try is a Pinotage as the grape is exclusively grown in South Africa, it's usually an easy drinking red wine with the smoothness of a merl... Read More
