Springfield 2016 Meth Ancienne Cabernet
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.
Marques De Vargas 2016 Rioja Gran Reserv
Aged 5 years with 2 years in oak, this wine bursts with concentrated black fruit and spice aromas. Enjoy a robust body, polished tannins, and a long finish. Hand-selected from the 'Pradolagar estate,' it's a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Mazuelo.
Perfect with a leafy salad, chicken and especially with seared duck breast.
