Springfield The Work of Time 2003

It was our yearning to create a Bordeaux Blend, and so nine years ago the dream came a step closer to reality when we planted the classic ingredients - Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot (Cabernet Sauvignon we already had). Slowly these vineyards matured into steady reliable vines with concentrated fruit. Nine long years later they have reached such an age that the quality warranted new barrels for maturation. Eighteen months of barrel maturation ticked by - a further 18 months bottle maturation before release - our 11 year old dream finally came true. Our patience rewarded in this “Work of Time”. This traditional wine is unfiltered and unfined, which may deposit a sediment and might require decanting.
