The Work Of Time

2003 Robertson Merlot 65%, Cabernet Franc 22%, Cabernet Sauvignon 11%, Petite Verdot 2%

Springfield The Work Of Time from the Robertson region is an exceptional red blend that showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of its creators. Composed of a harmonious mix of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of Petite Verdot, this wine delivers a rich and multi-layered experience. On the palate, it presents a medium to full-bodied profile with a bright acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of dark berries and plums intertwined with hints of herbs and tobacco. Tannins are notably structured, lending a firm backbone that complements the overall complexity of the wine. This vintage, from 2003, exemplifies aging potential, resulting in a beautifully rounded and elegant expression that is both delightful to savor and impressive to share.

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.
