Information about "Springfield Thunderchild 2023"
The Springfield Thunderchild is a classic red blend crafted from 35% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Merlot. It captivates with aromas of ripe berry fruit and juicy plum, intertwined with subtle hints of fine oak. These enticing scents carry through to the well-balanced palate, where a firm yet gentle structure offers a juicy and elegant character for a refined tasting experience.
In the wake of the 1918 influenza epidemic, the community of Robertson established an orphanage, 'Die Herberg,' for abandoned and impoverished children. In 2003, a five-hectare vineyard was planted on the orphanage grounds, with all materials, soil preparation, and irrigation donated. This classic blend is produced free of charge by participating wineries and sold to benefit children, who are no longer only orphans but often come from troubled family situations. The name Thunderchild - Children of the Storm symbolizes the 'storm' of life these children face early on. 100% of the grapes for this unique blend are grown on the orphanage grounds, and 100% of the profits are donated to the children, with only verified costs being compensated, while time and effort are offered without remuneration.
Das Traubengut wurde bei optimalem Reifegrad gelesen und unzerquetscht als ganze Beere einer kalten Quellphase unterzogen, bevor es 10 Tage lang in offenen Fermentern vergoren wurde. Während des Fermentierungsprozesses wurde der Tresterhut zweimal täglich untergetaucht. Nach drei Wochen fand die alkoholische Gärung ihren Abschluss, worafuhin der Wein in ausgewählte Fässer gepresst wurde und anschließend der malolaktischen Gärung unterzogen wurde. Nach Abschluss der malolaktischen Gärung reifte der Wein 12 Monate lang in Barrique, bevor er ungefiltert auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.
