2019 Botanica Pinot Noir, Stellenbosch, South AfricaABOUT THIS WINE Clay loam with decomposed Bokkeveld shale (Hemel en Aarde Ridge) and decomposed granite (Stellenbosch). The grapes were hand harvested at 22 and 23 B, hand sorted and destemmed but not crushed. Whole berry fermentation took place in open tanks, with punch downs twice daily. ABOUT THIS PRODUCER Ginny Povall is the heart and soul behind Botanica, and much like Ginny herself, these wines beam with life and a great sense of purpose.
