Description
The wine is a Bordeaux Blend and was made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The grapes were fermented whole and left to age on their skins for 5 weeks. The wine was then barrel-mastered for 2 years and then aged in bottles for 4 more years.
Time The lost element in todays winemaking, can be so precious yet it is free.
It was Springfield's desire to produce a Bordeaux Blend and so they planted the classic varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These vines were planted on carefully selected sites and took 9 years to reach a level of maturity which the farm felt comfortable to use for the maiden vintage (2001).
The grapes were fermented whole with native yeasts (true to their ancient custom) and left for 5 weeks on their skins. A slow 2 years of barrel maturation followed and a further 4 years of bottle maturation. Finally, Springfield released this wine; rich, classic and complex from age of vines and wine. This long wait, justified only by passion, does bear fruit. Its called-The Work of Time.
