In the distant past, I was very lucky to make wine at Buitenverwachting wine farm in Constantia, so it was great to be back in the cellar at the weekend (even if just for a few minutes to collect some stuff ). While I was there I grabbed this photo of these barrels in the maturation cellar. Each barrel contains 225l wine. At a rough estimate, this room contains about 200 barrels, which is 45,000l wine.
That should be enough to keep anybody quiet for a few days.Buitenverwachting , which means “Beyond Expectation”, makes some of the top wines in South Africa. Get a bottle of the Christine if you can find one, truly amazing.

Very excellent shot, once again!
Thanks Rob and Mandy,
A lovely farm to visit if you are ever in Cape Town. We will be in Barcelona in Sep this year so will get to experience your part of the world.
