Springfield Estate – Methode Ancienne
An Unlikely Beginning
Thirty-five years ago, we embarked on a journey to transform a neglected patch of land into something extraordinary.
Defying Convention
A 2.8-hectare triangle of land, once dismissed as unworthy, became the canvas for our winemaking vision.
A Driving Force
Driven by our passion for Cabernet Sauvignon, we ventured into this rocky and steep terrain.
Challenges in Nature
Despite the challenges—rocky soil, thorny bushes, and abandoned relics—our vines persevered and flourished.
The Bounty of Nature Unveiled
From this unforgiving landscape emerged tiny berries, bursting with intense color and flavor—a testament to nature’s resilience.
A Time-Honored Approach
We embraced traditional winemaking methods, allowing the wine to ferment with native yeasts and eschewing additives.
A Journey of Transformation
For two years, the wine matured in the finest French-oak barrels, undergoing a metamorphosis of flavor and character.
A Test of Resolve
After years of anticipation, the first vintage of Méthode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon was reluctantly released in 1998.
A Labor of Love
To part with this wine was akin to selling a piece of our history, a culmination of passion, labor, and luck.
A Legacy in a Bottle
This wine represents our finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality.
A Promise of Longevity
With its impeccable structure and depth, our Méthode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to evolve gracefully for another 15 to 20 years.
