Life From Stone

2011 Robertson Sauvignon Blanc

Springfield Life From Stone is a remarkable Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Robertson region, celebrated for its stunning terroir. This white wine presents a beautiful pale yellow hue that reflects its freshness and vibrancy. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of grapefruit and lime, intertwined with hints of flint and minerality that evoke the unique stony soil from which it derives its name. The palate is refreshing and lively, showcasing bright acidity that enlivens the senses, while the fruit intensity is prominent, delivering a delightful mix of citrus and stone fruit flavors. The finish is wonderfully crisp and clean, making it an irresistible choice for those seeking a wine that perfectly balances complexity and drinkability. This vintage, harvested in 2011, highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of Springfield Estate and its commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the essence of their region.

Robertson

Like many South African wine regions, Robertson is in a beautiful location that matches its dramatic scenery with equally impressive wines. Known as the "valley of wine and roses," Robertson lies 100 miles east of Cape Town in the Breede River Valley region. Fed by the Breede and sheltered by the Langeberg Mountains to the north, Robertson Valley is prized for its limestone and gravel soils and temperate Mediterranean climate. From complex Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon to dynamic Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and even world-class sparkling wines—Robertson has it all.
