In 1980 the Mueller family bought the estate. Imbued with a sense of history, they retraced the roots of Buitenverwachting. Over 260,000 vines of selected cultivars were planted in the first five years while the historic buildings were lovingly restored to their former glory.
During the past five years, fifteen wines were selected by international airlines for their first and business class wine lists. Six double gold and twelve gold medals were awarded at the Veritas national Wine Shows. Buitenverwachting achieved the trophy for the best red (1994) and white (1991) wine on the South African Airways wine list.
Furthermore the Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Award was won by former cellarmaster, Jean Daneel for the 1991 Buitenverwachting Merlot.
