Springfield Methode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Thirty-five years ago, Springfeld cleared a 2.8-hectare triangle of land previously ignored because it was not ‘good’ enough - "too rocky and too steep".
Cabernet Sauvignon was planted, struggling at first with virtually no soil. The miracle was in the fruit: tiny berries – intense in colour and flavour, this meagre crop was vinified in the traditional way. No crushing of berries, native yeast only, no fining and no filters.
Wine was made with little intervention and kept for two years in new French barriques. After three more years of maturation in bottle, Springfield releases their top wine. It is a piece of their history, their passion and labour. It is their finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, and will age effortlessly for another two decades.

Cartuxa 2018 Evora Reserva
On the palate, bright flavors of blackberry, wild cherry, Earl Grey tea, and cured meat are accompanied by a rich, tannic mouthfeel. This wine reveals a beautiful balance of fruit, spice, and earth aromas, including black and red berries, black pepper, eucalyptus, Earl Grey tea, and toasted oak. The acidity contributes a pleasant vibrancy, while berry and tea flavors linger extensively on the finish.
