This beautiful farm on the east-facing slopes of the magnificent Constantiaberg, barely 12km from False Bay, originally formed part of the Constantia Estate, which was founded by Simon van der Stel, the first governor of the new Dutch colony at the tip of Africa.
First sold as a 200-morgen sub-division to Cornelis Brink in 1773, Buitenverwachting changed hands all too often. And yet it flourished as a wine farm, due mainly to the 90 000 vines planted in 1825 by Ryk Arnoldus Cloete, brother of the famous Hendrik Cloete of Constantia.
The wine has a pale lemon yellow colour and a bouquet reminiscent of green figs with hints of gooseberries and an intrusion of green peppers. The wine is dry, full bodied and has a long, lingering finish.
