Miss Lucy
Description
Miss Lucy is one of seven nicknames given by South African fishermen to a species of fish found only off the coast of South Africa. Miss Lucy is a carefully thought-out blend that took more than 10 years to develop and was created as an ode to the richness of the sea. The vines were specially planted and, through trial and error, some were removed and replaced with others. Before Miss Lucy was finally launched on the market, there was a four-year period of experimentation with the blend's components and different barrel aging regimes. The result is a unique blend full of citrus aromas and mineral flavors.

Located in the heart of the mountainous Robertson Valley in the Western Cape of South Africa, Springfield Estate Winery is a family-owned wine farm owned by ninth-generation descendants of French Huguenots who came to South Africa from the Loire in 1688 with bundles of vines under their arms.
The farm has been in the family since 1898 and today the Bruwer family thrives on a combination of sometimes risky winemaking techniques, traditional methods and modern technology, as well as a sense of practicality and a dogged determination, which the family has carried with them from a lifetime on the land, to handcraft wine in keeping with their motto: Made on Honour.
