Time – the lost element in today’s winemaking, can be so precious – yet it is free. It was Springfield Estate’s desire to produce a Bordeaux Blend and so they planted the classic varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

Springfield The Work of Time 750ml
These vines were planted on carefully selected sites and took nine years to reach a level of maturity which Springfield Estate felt comfortable to use for its maiden vintage (2001).
The grapes were fermented whole with native yeasts (true to their ancient custom) and left for five weeks on their skins. A slow two years of barrel maturation followed and a further four 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 its passion, does bear fruit. It’s called-“The Work of Time”.
