Wine Description
The Buitenverwachting Christine 2017 is a masterful Bordeaux-style red blend, seamlessly crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes. This exceptional wine boasts rich red fruit aromas, featuring ripe raspberry and blackcurrant, layered with alluring notes of dark chocolate and tobacco. These complex flavours are complemented by hints of earthy depth, creating a sophisticated and well-balanced wine.

The wine was meticulously fermented on skins for 28 days to extract maximum flavour and structure, before being aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months. This careful aging process imparts a rich texture and a refined oak influence that elevates the overall complexity of the wine.

Winery	It all began in Constantia, the narrow peninsula where Governor Simon van der Stel planted 750 hectares of vines in 1685. The South African wine industry has had many changes of fortune in the three centuries since, but this historic estate remains divided now between five wineries. Buitenverwachting, meaning ‘beyond expectation’, belongs to the Mueller family, who have lovingly restored its buildings and reputation as a source of exquisite South African wine. The Sauvignon is a reference point for that famous Europe-meets-New World style, and the reds, from Bordeaux varieties, also show a telling combination of purity and ripeness.
