The region's limestone-rich soils, warm growing season and cooling evening temperatures create ideal conditions for producing structured red wines with both concentration and freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpringfield's philosophy, captured in its \"Made on Honour\" motto, centres on allowing nature to take the lead. Minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar ensures that each wine reflects its origin and vintage. The Work of Time is the estate's flagship Bordeaux-style red blend, named in recognition of the patience required to create wines of depth and character. Carefully matured in French oak and released only when ready, it represents Springfield's belief that some of the most rewarding qualities in wine can only emerge through time.\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 a youthful garnet edge, showing excellent concentration and clarity.\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\u003eComplex aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum lead the bouquet, followed by layers of cedarwood, graphite, tobacco leaf and subtle spice.
