It is the most wonderful place to sit and taste outside, and enjoy some fine food, with the ever-genial owner and host Lars Maack close by, aided by the brilliant Brad Paton, their highly talented winemaker.  Buitenverwachting is a historic Constantia estate, with the name meaning “Beyond Expectation.\" It originally formed part of the Constantia estate which was founded by Simon Van De Stel, the first Governor of the New Dutch Colony of The Cape, who we know planted vines on his farm. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BUITENVERWACHTING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56167417905538,"sku":"A2926125","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/files\/BC_Upload_1a9d7887-abb7-4b58-b8da-68e910e801a8.jpg?v=1767779307"},{"product_id":"verdejo-alceo-familia-bastida-2026","title":"Verdejo Alceo Familia Bastida 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpring flowers, a swirl of pineapple, just ripe stone fruit, with candied lemon, lime zest, peach cobbler and wet stones - something distinctly 'rocky' about it. There's so much fruit capering on the palate with good old fashioned tuck shop sweets - think rhubarb and custard sweets, with some green melon,  pithy grapefruit and a long, sherbety finish. Great with everything from scallops with cucumber and lime to a chicken curry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#Tasting#\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn our Spanish buying trip a couple of years ago, we must have tasted more than a hundred wines before we alighted upon the garnachas and tempranillos of Familia Bastida.
