The 2025 vintage of Springfield Estate's Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc presents a vivid expression of its quartz-rich terroir. It offers pronounced aromas of lime, gooseberry, and freshly cut green pepper, complemented by tropical nuances of passion fruit. The palate is zesty and mouth-watering, with a stony minerality and a lingering guava undertone on the finish.

Harvested at night in February 2025 with dry ice protection, the grapes underwent a 21-day alcoholic fermentation. The wine was then left on its primary lees for 100 days, with all racking performed under CO₂ to prevent oxidation. Stabilization occurred at -3ºC for 2–3 weeks, followed by fining with 80g/hl bentonite. Filtration was non-sterile, using only a 2.5-micron filter prior to bottling on the estate.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced from 21–27-year-old vines (clone SB11E on R110 rootstock) planted at a density of 6,060 vines per hectare. The vineyard is situated on a gentle southerly slope in Robertson, South Africa, characterized by extremely rocky soils comprising 70% quartz and 30% soluble materials. The climate features moderate summers with low night temperatures and cold winters, with south-easterly winds prevailing in summer.
