About the winery
Springfield Estate is a family owned winery found in the heart of the Robertson Wine Valley, in the Western Cape of South Africa. While we do not have a restaurant on the farm, our guests are encouraged to bring their own picnics to enjoy on our lush lawns overlooking the dam, with a bottle of their favourite Springfield wine - the perfect way to while away an afternoon. Current custodians, brother-and-sister team Abrie and Jeanette Bruwer, are always looking for the purest expression of the grape in the glass. This is achieved by their minimalist and 'hands off' approach to wine making - the grapes for all the red wines are uncrushed and unpressed - simply de-stemmed, macerated whole, and fermented on the skins using natural yeast. Farming, and making wine, is a series of small decisions that need to be made every day, and the family’s motto, ‘Made on Honour’, guides these decisions every step of the way.

History & Geography
Springfield Estate is a family owned wine estate situated in the Western Cape of Southern Africa. Descended from the French Huguenots, the Bruwer family has been farming on the land, now known as Springfield, for five generations. With generational knowledge handed down since 1898, vineyards are planted in specific sites to capture the best varietal characteristics of each cultivar. The farm boasts a wide variety of soils, from alluvial river sand made up of decomposed Table Mountain sandstone, to incredible rocky Quartzite stone.
