Springfield Estate Albarino

Light straw yellow in colour. A beautifully balanced and clean Albariño, showing lovely citrus and cantaloupe fruit, underpinned by that dependable freshness and vibrant acidity. Light, elegant and moreish – what more could you ask from a white wine? Aromatic and full bodied with apricot, nectarine and floral notes, yet with a saline minerality and crisp finish.

Set in the heart of the mountain-ringed Robertson Valley in South Africa's Western Cape Province, Springfield Estate is a vibrant, family-run wine farm. It is owned by the Bruwer family, fourth-generation wine farmers and ninth-generation descendants of the Bruères, French Huguenots who came to South Africa from the Loire in 1688 with bundles of vines under their arms. The present owners of Springfield, brother-and-sister team Abrie and Jeanette Bruwer, are just as dynamic and enthusiastic as their ancestors and are prepared to take risks to do what they love best – making wine. The real magic of Springfield lies in the bottles of hand-crafted wine it produces, true gems of tradition, which offer both quality and individuality in keeping with the estate's motto: from the grape to the bottle with care and passion.
