Go to the shopThunderchild is one of the most meaningful wines produced at Springfield Estate, created in partnership with the Robertson Children’s Home, with all proceeds supporting the institution. The 2021 vintage is sourced from old vineyards rooted in ancient, decomposed granite and alluvial soils, crafted using Springfield’s hallmark minimalist philosophy: wild fermentation, gentle handling and an unwavering focus on purity.
Imagine opening this bottle at a relaxed dinner with friends. The deep ruby colour shimmers in the glass, aromas rising with dark fruit and subtle savoury notes. Each sip reflects the estate’s commitment to authenticity — honest winemaking, a sense of place and a wine that carries both tradition and purpose.
