Botanica Wines was established in 2009 at Protea Heights Farm, in South Africa's iconic Stellenbosch region. Their mission lies with the principles of regenerative agriculture. This innovative form of organic farming represents the future, working to amplify soil fertility, cultivate biodiversity, bolster the soil's water retention capacity, and enrich the overall ecosystem. At the core of this agroecological philosophy is the practice of no-till farming. By capturing carbon within both the soil and the aboveground biomass, this approach actively counteracts the current trend of atmospheric carbon build up, thus playing a pivotal role in mitigating climate change. It also delivers a range of benefits including heightened crop yields, diminished susceptibility to diseases, increased resilience against droughts and climatic fluctuations, along with improved vitality and health for the soil.
Pale in colour with a savoury edge, this Cabernet Franc starts off with floral and strawberry aromas, plenty of frothy fun on the palate, fleeting mineral notes and tart damson fruits to finish.
