Christine

Buitenverwachting is one of the oldest wineries in the Constantia Valley – a cool coastal region south of Cape Town, influenced by both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Christine is the estate's flagship wine: a Bordeaux blend that demonstrates what this relatively cool location can achieve with Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated assemblages.

In the glass, aromas of dark cherry and blackcurrant emerge, underpinned by tobacco, cedarwood, and a hint of chocolate. Aging in French oak barrels gives the wine structure without being overpowering – the tannins are present but fine-grained, and the fruit remains clear and vibrant. The finish is long, slightly spicy, with a pleasant freshness typical of Constantia.

Buitenverwachting

Constantia's legendary white wine estate at the Cape of Good Hope: "Beyond all expectations" – that's how the name of this special winery in Constantia, South Africa's oldest wine-growing region, translates. The family-run estate, which has existed for over 250 years, is located just 10 km south of Cape Town and benefits from a unique location between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. On some of the world's oldest granite soils, internationally acclaimed wines are produced here under the German management of Lars Maack. The Sauvignon Blanc, in particular, is among South Africa's finest.
