2020 Botanica The Mary Delany Collection Chenin Blanc
£29.00
“Still under-priced for a wine of this stellar quality, Ginny Poval’s Chenin Blanc comes from a low-yielding block on Henk Laing’s farm. Intense, stony and layered, it’s a wine that builds on the palate, with effortless concentration, Loire Valley-like acidity, lemon and lime fruit and a floral finish.”

Product 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.
The Mary Delany Collection is crafted from grapes sourced from unique vineyard sites throughout the Cape. Each of the labels depicts a botanical collage created by British artist Mary Delany. These remarkable works of art were hand crafted in the late 1700s using hundreds of tiny pieces of cut paper.
