Botanica Wines Description

Botanica Wines was founded in 2009 by owner and self-taught winemaker Ginny Povall, an intrepid American who fell in love with the beautiful Cape winelands, purchased Protea Heights farm in Stellenbosch’s Devon Valley and relocated to the southern tip of Africa in 2008. Established in the late 1940s, Protea Heights was the first farm in South Africa to cultivate indigenous protea flowers commercially. Inspired by this horticultural history, it was only natural that Ginny would choose to develop her wine brands and labels with a botanical flair.

Today the estate boasts eight varieties of proteas (four of which are hybridized species unique to the property), largely destined for export to Europe. The 21.6 hectare farm is planted with 10 hectares of indigenous flowers, which bloom throughout the year, and 5 hectares of organically farmed, high density vineyards. Planted between 2009 and 2010, the estate vines provide the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Albariño used to craft Botanica’s Arboretum, Big Flower and Flowergirl ranges.

Winemaker Notes: An elegant, full-bodied red which displays dark fruit flavors paired with savory, earthy undertones. Bright acidity and firm tannins make this a versatile food wine.

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

The 2022 Big Flower Cabernet Franc presents rich floral notes and earthy undertones. Medium to full-bodied and with 14% alcohol, the palate offers flavors of ripe cherries and plums with a clean and straightforward character, leading to a food-friendly finish. This wine promises a satisfying experience.
