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.
