Springfield Estate Special Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc 2013

This wine originates from 22-year-old vines rooted in sand rock formations in the estates riverine area. It is a richly concentrated wine from the estate's prime site for Sauvignon Blanc. Treated tenderly in the cellar with minimal intervention, the full expression of the terroir has been allowed, and the resultant complex, sensuous combination of passion fruit, nettles and minerality. Will mature beautifully for 2-4 years.
