Botanica Mary Delany Chenin Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Citrusdal Mountain
R540
‘From Citrusdal Mountain, the only grapes not home-grown. An illustrious track record, 2023 is oaked, 9 months in seasoned barrels, fitting the rich styling, melon & stonefruit, adding an oat biscuit savoury seam. Citrus acidity gives tension, definition. Complex, oozes class.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (96/100)
‘Consistently one of the best Chenin Blancs in the Cape, the Mary Delany Collection uses grapes from a 1960 block between 450 and 500 metres on the Citrusdal Mountain. Fermented and aged in older barrels, it has aromas of hay and wild flowers, flavours of lime and passion fruit, subtle wood and a tangy, tapering finish. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 95/100

| Producer information | Botanica, located on Protea Heights farm, was founded in 2009 by owner and winemaker, Ginny Povall. There’s a wonderful sense of quiet purpose and ‘painterly’ aesthetic to Ginny’s approach to winemaking. She flies somewhat under the radar but is best known for her multiple Platter’s 5-star winner, the Mary Delany Chenin Blanc. Keeping in the floral theme, Protea Heights farm was the first in South Africa to cultivate indigenous protea flowers commercially and just under half of the farm is planted with indigenous flowers. |
