Springfield Estate is a family owned wine estate situated in the Western Cape of Southern Africa. The Bruwers are descended from the French Huguenots and have been farming this land for five generations. At Springfield Estate, we are passionate about our craft. We believe that our name is our most precious possession, and our motto, Made On Honour, applies to every facet of our being. Our wine at

Springfield Estate is made from single vineyards, mostly using natural yeast. This allows the character and the individuality of the grape to truly show itself. Due to our natural yeast fermentation, we strive to work as naturally as possible, both in the vineyard and the cellar.

Two months after the flood and we are still uncovering vines like ancient archaeologists. Still trying to reconnect electricity like turn of the century pioneers. It is shaping up to be a very dry winter, so in the wake of flood devastation we are now facing a drought, with no working irrigation system to speak of.

One day we will look back and wonder how the hell we got through this. But for now we keep our heads down and keep working.

Spring and budding season are looming. The early rains, and the dry spell that followed, mean many of the fruit trees around us are already in full bloom, months too early. We are working against a timeline set by Mother Nature, and she waits for no one. Climate change is only making the clock run faster.

So we keep digging. Keep repairing. Keep going. Because spring will not wait for us to be ready.

Happy International Chardonnay Day!

We are blessed with the most incredible terroir on the farm to plant our Chardonnay in - limestone rich soil with lots of calcareous deposits, thanks to the prehistoric termite mounds that
are dotted all across the region. These termite mounds are the size of a suburban plot, and have to be worked and spread into the soil when we prepare for a new vineyard. is known as the valley of wine, roses and racehorses because of this limestone rich soil - strong bones for the horses, healthy roses (two words that don’t easily sit next to each other) and wines that are complex, pure and minerally.
Vines are unaware that humans turn their grapes into wine. They are destined to attract birds with sugar as the lure to transplant their seeds. These favoured seeds will then have a head start in a competitive forest, for they are fertilized by the bird’s droppings. However, should the bird not pitch the vine would very much like to reuse the sugar it has produced so laboriously. So over time it evolved a unique system to ferment this sugar. The grape will first develop a waxy layer to attract the wild yeast it so greatly desires. The
yeast then breaks down the skin and ferments the sugar into alcohol. Then vinegar bacteria, also present, will turn this wild wine into an organic type of vinegar, dripping onto the forest floor to nourish the mother plant to present a new crop of seeds next year. We allow these fickle yeasts to live in our vineyard by not applying the usual sprays to kill them. We endure their temperament while they ferment their wine in our cellar. And only if it is special enough, will we present it like the mother vine to the wild world.
Using wild yeast fermentation results in an incredibly expressive wine with a wisdom that is unattainable in those made with commercial yeasts. This is the reason why we try, time and again, to ferment our Chardonnays using native yeasts. The complexity is unmatched!

20 hectares completely gone - not a vine or pole left.
15 hectares damaged, vines lying on their sides in the mud and silt.
50 hectares or more to salvage, remove trees, debris and hip-high sand.
Tons and tons of precious soil lost to the ocean.

It is heartbreaking to see so much of farm unrecognizable. So much work and effort laid to waste.

Months if not years of work lies ahead - but thanks to our Springfield family, the burden is lessened.
We wouldn’t have made it through this past week if it were not for your words of support, encouragement and love. From customers bringing us flowers, friends sending food and suppliers donating resources to start again - thank you. We are not giving up yet!
