Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay
Description
Springfield Estate Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay is an old Burgundian style wine. In the new world, this technique with wild yeasts and no filtration is rarely used. This is therefore a wine of distinctive and classic character that will age slowly and is made to last (we hope) a lifetime. Nuances of lime, cointreau and oranges - a big wine with classic character!

Located in the heart of the mountainous Robertson Valley in the Western Cape of South Africa, Springfield Estate Winery is a family-owned wine farm owned by ninth-generation descendants of French Huguenots who came to South Africa from the Loire in 1688 with bundles of vines under their arms.
The farm has been in the family since 1898 and today the Bruwer family thrives on a combination of sometimes risky winemaking techniques, traditional methods and modern technology, as well as a sense of practicality and a dogged determination, which the family has carried with them from a lifetime on the land, to handcraft wine in keeping with their motto: Made on Honour.
