Springfield Estate Wild Yeast Chardonnay
An unwooded Chardonnay with ripe pear, white peach and lemon curd. Natural fermentation and time on the lees add a subtle creamy texture, while bright minerality keeps the palate fresh and defined. Expressive, textured and quietly complex through the finish, it suits roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy seafood dishes or soft, mild cheeses.
Klein Constantia 1989 Vin de Constance
Amber and intensely aromatic, unfolding through blood orange, dried persimmon and honeyed apricot. Bitter almond, clove and green tea bring mature complexity, while a spicy Muscat lift keeps the palate vivid. Rich caramel and marzipan tones are balanced by clear acidity, leading to a long, savoury-sweet finish that invites slow, contemplative drinking.
Rust en Vrede 2020 Estate Vineyards Syrah
Floral perfume and musk lead the aroma, followed by blackberry compote, blueberry and ripe damson plum. Paprika, sweet red pepper and sandalwood add layered spice. The palate is round and juicy, with black cherry, crème de cassis and chilli chocolate developing through the middle. Dark fruit remains central to the close, with paprika, sandalwood and chocolate extending the layered spicy character.
Graceland 2024 Strawberry Stellenbosch
A plush Stellenbosch red with blackberry, tart cherry, cassis and a subtle red-berry note. The palate is full and creamy in texture, with ripe tannins, measured barrel spice and touches of dark chocolate framing the fruit. Rich but balanced, it finishes long and polished, making a fitting partner for roast beef, grilled lamb or savoury mushroom dishes.
Scali 2016 Syrah
A dark-fruited Syrah with ripe plum and blackberry, joined by violet, black pepper, fennel and local herbal notes. The palate is balanced and savoury, with firm tannins, steady acidity and a clear mineral thread supporting the fruit. Long and composed on the finish, it is a natural match for grilled lamb, beef, mushrooms or peppered dishes.
Scali 2016 Pinotage Voor-Paardeberg WO
Seductive ripe red berries lead, layered with warm spice and a stony mineral note. The palate is balanced and succulent, with concentrated fruit carried by a velvety tannin structure rather than overt weight. Gentle savoury oak and fresh acidity bring definition before a smooth, lingering and quietly spicy finish.
Graceland 2020 Three Graces
Springfield Estate 2022 Albariño
Ripe apricot and nectarine open with a light floral lift and a distinctly saline edge. Generous in flavour yet dry and precise, the palate balances its rounded fruit with bright, mouthwatering acidity and fine mineral tension. The finish is clean, persistent and quietly coastal, making this especially compelling alongside oysters, shellfish or simply prepared white fish.
Springfield Estate 2024 Life From Stone Sauvignon Blanc
Lime, gooseberry and passion fruit rise over fresh green pepper and a pronounced flinty mineral note. Concentrated yet agile, the palate is driven by vibrant acidity, with citrus and orchard fruit gaining subtle herbal detail as it unfolds. The finish is zesty, persistent and mouthwatering, carrying its stony character with impressive clarity and poise.
Springfield 2023 Thunderchild
Blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry lead, with black plum and a savoury note of smoked meat adding depth. The palate is broad and mouth-filling but remains balanced, shaped by soft tannins and a generous sweep of ripe fruit. A long, gently fruity finish keeps the style approachable. Serve with roast beef, lamb or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Springfield Estate 2022 Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
A generous Cabernet Sauvignon, opening on cassis, blackcurrant and cranberry with warm leather, fine spice and discreet cedar. The palate is full and juicy, with plush dark fruit carried by a velvety texture and notably soft tannins. Subtle walnut skin and cigar-box detail add savoury complexity, leading to a long, smooth and composed finish.
Springfield Estate 2020 Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay
A classically styled Chardonnay, fermented with wild yeast in French oak, with lime and sweet orange leading into golden apple, restrained tropical fruit and toast. Broad and creamy without losing definition, the palate gathers citrus oil and a fine stony note around a firm line of freshness. Richness and mineral lift remain beautifully balanced through the composed finish.
