More Information - Springfield Miss Lucy
Conceived after years of development by Springfield Estate, Miss Lucy is an artistic tribute to the ocean and sustainable seafood. The wine typically features a complex multi-varietal blend—such as Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon Gris—harvested at night and aged on its primary lees for extra texture and depth. It balances a rich, full-bodied palate with a remarkably moderate alcohol level (around 12.5% to 13%) and a refreshing, tangy finish.
Back Story & Wine Information
Life from Stone derives its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown. Every year the vineyard battles against nature in order to produce highly concentrated, powerful wines with a flinty, mineral character true to the quartz rock in which it is grown. Monumental human effort was required to plant the vines – implements destroyed, and, in the case of the older vineyards, dynamite deployed. A true expression of the site’s terroir, this wine will drink well now, or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years.
