Information about "Springfield Thunderchild 2022"
The Springfield Thunderchild is a classic red wine cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of ripe berry fruit and juicy plums with subtle hints of fine oak wood aromas enmesh the nose. The already sniffed aromas continue seamlessly on the well-balanced palate, where a firm but gentle structure and a juicy and elegant character provide a fine pleasure.
After the great influenza epidemic in 1918, the community of Robertson built an orphanage, "Die Herberg", for orphaned and destitute children. In 2003, a 5-hectare vineyard was planted on the grounds of the orphanage by the same community. All plant material, soil preparation and irrigation were donated. This classic cuvée is produced free of charge by participating wineries and sold for the benefit of the children, who are no longer orphans but mainly come from broken families. The name Thunderchild - Children of the Storm symbolizes the "storm" of life that these children have to go through already in the first years of their lives. 100% of the grapes for this special blend are grown on the grounds of the orphanage and 100% of the profits are donated to the children. Only the costs actually checked are reimbursed, time and effort remain unpaid.

The grape harvest was conducted at optimal ripeness, applying cold soaking to whole berries before fermentation in open tanks for 10 days. During fermentation, the cap was pushed down twice daily. Following three weeks, fermentation completed, and the wine was pressed into selected barrels for malolactic fermentation. Afterward, it matured for 12 months in barriques before being bottled unfiltered.
