Muscat de Frontignan
About this wine
Buitenverwachting 1769 Noble Late Harvest is a botrytised dessert wine from the historic Constantia valley, named after the estate's founding year. Made from 100% Muscat de Frontignan affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), it offers a complex bouquet of dried apricot, honey, and orange peel balanced by vibrant acidity. Rich, luscious, and persistent, it reflects the cool-climate Constantia terroir and ages gracefully for decades.
A luxurious, honey-like sweet wine that serves as a dessert in a glass.
