Family-owned by the Bruwer family, the estate has become renowned for its commitment to authenticity, producing wines under its long-standing philosophy of \"Made on Honour\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a softer, more fruit-driven expression of the variety. Rather than aggressively extracting tannins and colour during fermentation, Springfield ferments whole berries to encourage a gentler extraction process. This approach preserves purity of fruit while producing a wine with approachable structure and elegance. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that remains true to the variety while offering immediate enjoyment alongside the capacity to develop further complexity with age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColour:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep ruby red with youthful purple highlights and excellent intensity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNose:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassic Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and ripe plum are complemented by notes of cedar, pencil shavings and subtle dried herbs.
