The Buitenverwachting Sauvignon Blanc is a definitive expression of cool-climate South African wine. This esteemed 750ml bottle comes from the historic Constantia Valley. The vineyards benefit from the cooling ocean breezes and the False Bay proximity. The name Buitenverwachting translates to “Beyond Expectation.” This wine consistently lives up to its name. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures. This process locks in the intense, fresh fruit flavors. This South African Sauvignon Blanc is renowned for its elegance and longevity.

Expect a bright, pale straw color with green tints. The nose bursts with complex, vibrant aromas. Prominent notes of green fig, kiwi fruit, and cut grass lead the way. Subtler hints of grapefruit and lime zest provide lift. The palate is dry, crisp, and beautifully structured. Intense fruit flavors match the refreshing, zesty acidity. A long, clean, mineral-driven finish defines the wine. Buitenverwachting Sauvignon Blanc pairs excellently with fresh seafood, asparagus, and goats’ cheese.
