Gadda da Vida

R580.00

Springfontein’s soil is full of limestone rocks, and the roots of our vines thrust deep into the earth to suck in the water and minerals captured there. Like the vintage songs of rock and roll legends, limestone has been the baseline for a myriad of iconic wines.

Long maceration on the skins and fermentation with indigenous yeast enhances terroir specific notes in this Pinotage-driven wine. The nose has intense dark fruit and berry aromas with some oak spice notes.
