Buitenverwachting Meifort

Buitenverwachting Meifort is an elegant red wine blend from the eponymous winery in Constantia – one of South Africa's oldest and most prestigious wine-growing regions. Anyone looking for a red wine that combines finesse with depth will find exactly what they're looking for here.

On the nose, you're greeted by a warm, inviting bouquet of plums and ripe cherries , underpinned by subtle notes of wood and tobacco. This complexity is thanks to Meifort's 24 months of aging in French oak barrels – a period that shapes the wine without dominating it. On the palate, it is smooth and luscious, with silky tannins that pleasantly round off the finish.

Highly recommended with braised leg of lamb, venison goulash, or a hearty roast beef . Those wishing to enjoy Meifort on its own should decant it an hour beforehand – this allows it to fully develop its potential. A wine for quiet evenings when the moment matters.
