Springfield The Work of Time is a dream wine - a fantastic Bordeaux-style cuvée with concentrated aromas of ripe berry fruit and fine traces of cinnamon, cloves and aniseed. On the palate it presents itself elegant, soft, tasty, balanced and packed with fruit. A masterly drop!

Before the alcoholic fermentation, the grapes remained cooled and uncrushed in open tanks for 10 days (cold maceration). The subsequent fermentation lasted for 3 weeks. During this time, the mash cake was submerged three times a day to extract maximum colour and concentration from the mash. Without the use of pumps, the mash was transferred into new and second filled 300 l Sequin Moreau barrels. The malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously in the barrels where the wine was then aged for 24 months. The wine was put on the market only after a further four years of storage at 14°C in the Springfield cellar.
