The Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon enchants the senses with its bouquet of lush, ripe berry fruit, cassis, and a delicate touch of spice. On the palate, soft and velvety tannins unveil a refined flavor profile, offering a full-bodied indulgence. Following whole berry fermentation with natural yeasts, the wine matures in oak barrels for one year, allowing for an intense expression of varietal character. This wine remains unfiltered and unfined, and the winemaker suggests decanting it an hour before enjoying to enhance the experience.
Treatment in the cellar
Post-harvest, the grapes underwent a two-to-three-day cold soak before whole berry fermentation in open vessels for 15 days. The fermentation lasted about three weeks. After malolactic fermentation, this wine matured in second-use French barriques (Seguin Moreau) before being bottled unfiltered.
