The Springfield Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of ripe berries, cassis, and a subtle spice on the nose. Its palate reveals smooth, velvety tannins and a generous flavor, establishing a benchmark for classic Cabernet Sauvignon enjoyment. Following whole berry fermentation with natural yeasts, it is aged for one year in oak barrels, enhancing its character. This wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, and decanting an hour before serving is recommended for optimal experience.
Treatment in the cellar
Post-harvest, the grapes underwent a two-to-three-day cold soak before whole berry fermentation in open vessels for 15 days. The fermentation lasted about three weeks. After malolactic fermentation, this wine matured in second-use French barriques (Seguin Moreau) before being bottled unfiltered.
