Whole Berry

2012 Robertson Cabernet Sauvignon

The Springfield Estate Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage is a beautifully crafted red wine hailing from the Robertson region. This wine showcases a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate, offering a rich and complex experience. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift that complements the bold fruit character. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruits, particularly blackcurrant and plum, intertwined with subtle herbal undertones. Tannins are structured and firm, adding a delightful grip without overpowering the overall balance. This compelling Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to be dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairings or enjoyable on its own.

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.
