The Buitenverwachting Maximus is, as its name suggests (lat.= the largest), a wine of absolute top class. From light and delicate lemon yellow in the glass, a dreamlike bouquet of delicious ripe melon and fresh gooseberry rises to the nose and beguiles the senses. On the palate, the already sniffed aromas also unfold as exquisite taste nuances and promise pleasure of the finest. A wonderfully dry and full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc with a long-lasting finish. A wonderful representative of this noble grape variety!
Wine description according to Weinwisser 03/2017:
"18 months in barrique, 10% of it in new wood. Still rather from the wood development coined/shaped Bouquet with buttery and easily caramelligen roasting notes, with air clearly finer becoming. On the palate it is dense and melty, has a lot of power, but the juice remains clear and precise with pineapple notes. A mannered heavyweight, whose Sauvignon typicity is only revealed in the second attack and with air.

The grapes for the Buitenverwachting Maximus were partly pressed all over the bunch, while the other part was given 12 hours of rest on the skin. Using five different yeast cultures, fermentation was started at a controlled 12ºC - 16ºC. After 21 days, the fermentation process was completed and the wine was then aged in French barriques for 15 months.
