Buitenverwachting Wine Estate, Constantia

Buitenverwachting - "Beyond Expectation" - originally formed part of the Constantia Estate, founded by Simon van der Stel, the first Governor of the new Dutch colony at the tip of Africa.

The farm was lovingly restored to its former glory while extensive planting of the most selected of cultivars was initiated.

The farm produces the following fine wines:

• Red - Cabernet Sauvignon, Christine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot), Merlot and Meifort (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot).
• White - Blanc de Noir (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot), Buiten Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc), Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
