This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2021 tasting notes:
‘A move to earlier picking is certainly paying dividends at Ginny Povall's Devon Valley farm. This stylish Cabernet Sauvignon has fine-grained tannins, bramble, cassis and redcurrant fruit, subtle integrated 10% new oak, lots of zip and focus and the focus and freshness of the vintage. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 93/100

| Producer information | Botanica, located on Protea Heights farm, was founded in 2009 by owner and winemaker, Ginny Povall. Ginny flies somewhat under the radar but is best known for her multiple Platter’s 5-star winner, the Mary Delany Chenin Blanc. Since Protea Heights farm was the first in South Africa to cultivate indigenous protea flowers commercially, it is fitting that the wine labels are floral themed. Just under half of the 21.6 hectares are planted with indeginous flowers, and since 2014 Botanica has been practising organic farming in their vineyards. There’s a wonderful sense of quiet purpose and ‘painterly’ aesthetic to Ginny’s approach to winemaking. |
