Information about "Springfield Thunderchild 2022"
The Springfield Thunderchild is a refined red blend composed of 35% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Merlot. Exquisite aromas of ripe berries and juicy plums intertwine with fine oak notes. These captivating scents seamlessly continue on the balanced palate, where a firm yet gentle structure offers a juicy and elegant character.
Following the influenza epidemic of 1918, the community of Robertson established an orphanage, 'Die Herberg,' for abandoned and underprivileged children. In 2003, a five-hectare vineyard was planted on the orphanage grounds with all materials donated. This classic blend is produced free of charge by participating wineries to benefit children, who are now not only orphans but often come from distressed family backgrounds. The name Thunderchild - Children of the Storm symbolizes the 'storm' of life these children face early on. 100% of the grapes for this unique blend are grown on the orphanage grounds, and all profits are donated to the children, ensuring that only real costs are reimbursed.
The grape harvest was conducted at optimal ripeness, applying cold soaking to whole berries before fermentation in open tanks for 10 days. During fermentation, the cap was pushed down twice daily. Following three weeks, fermentation completed, and the wine was pressed into selected barrels for malolactic fermentation. Afterward, it matured for 12 months in barriques before being bottled unfiltered.
