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
Brilliant wine! One of the best Sav Blancs I have tasted.

Hi Mark!Yes of course, it's a fair swap I would say ;-)Previously I was an avid red wine drinker but recently have taken more of a liking to white wines, especially in the summer.

Springfield Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Snoothrank:
Breathing in this wine is like breathing in the forest. Bark, rock, sand, fresh mushrooms and lots of crisp, fresh air. On the palate it is spicy (pepper and herbs) and intensely fruity, almost syrupy. It has berry-like fruit, mostly boysenberry and cranberry. Very rich. Full-bodied and full-flavored. Lots of vanilla. Good oak integration and ta... Read More
