As a “Wine Estate”, Springfontein relies exclusively on grapes from its own vineyards, located directly on the farm, with their unique limestone soils and their special microclimate, special flora and fauna. On a certified organic farm like ours, naturally vine growing is carried out without the use of any chemical fertilizers and under an extremely restrictive spraying regime to limit the use of pesticides as far as even possible. Finally, within our quasi-“monopole” Springfontein Rim, we have a number of individual sites or “clos” that stand even out from the total area under cultivation, such as Jonathan’s Ridge and Jil’s Dune, whose grapes we vinify separately at great expense in order to express the unique soil and weather conditions under which the wines are grown in these designated parcels.
