Pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, light fish dishes, and fresh salads—especially those featuring citrus or vinegar‑based dressings—to complement the wine’s natural minerality and acidity.

Grown in Robertson, South Africa, on estate‑owned vines planted by the Bruwer family. The vineyards are sustainably managed with minimal intervention, reflecting the estate philosophy of “intervene in the vineyard, not the cellar.” Soils are influenced by mountain runoff and exhibit flinty, rocky characteristics.

After fermentation, the wine spent approximately three months on its primary lees in stainless steel, with no oak involvement, to build texture and maintain freshness. Bottled under screw cap after filtration.

100 % Albariño, hand‑harvested and gently pressed. Fermented in stainless steel tanks. According to Classic Drinks, the 2024 vintage was “juice settled without enzymes at –3 °C for 3 weeks, 21 days alcoholic fermentation, 100 days on primary lees, all racking under CO₂, followed by bentonite fining and 2.5 μm filtration prior to bottling.

Set in the heart of the mountain-ringed Robertson Valley in the Western Cape of South Africa, Springfield Estate is a family-run wine farm owned by ninth-generation descendants of French Huguenots, who came to South Africa from the Loire in 1688 with bundles of vines under their arms. The farm has been in the family since 1898 and today, using a combination of sometimes risky winemaking techniques, traditional methods and modern technology, along with a sense of practicality and dogged determination borne from living off the land all their lives, the Bruwer family is able to handcraft wine true to its motto: Made on Honour.
