Constantia Region

Appropriately named Buitenverwachting, which means "beyond expectations", this stunning farm is steeped in history and forms part of the original Constantia Estate which was founded by Governor Simon van der Stel.

Rooted in deep, decomposing granite soils and cooled by temperate sea breezes from the nearby oceans, Buitenverwachting’s vines produce internationally acclaimed wines of great complexity with unique aromatic profiles.

Offers strong berry flavours reminiscent of blackcurrant and ripe cherries. Mineral and cigar-box characters.  Barrel matured for 18-24 months (2nd and 3rd fill French oak) with malolactic fermentation allowed to take place. Would accompany grilled steaks, Karoo lamb chops, ostrich or kudu very well.
