The Botanica Wines 2024 Stellenbosch Big Flower Cabernet Franc incorporates roughly one-third whole-cluster fruit alongside destemmed and crushed fruit, introducing a subtle carbonic lift that brightens the wine's profile. Notes of cola, raspberry and lavender lead, followed by rosemary, leafy spice and a distinctly botanical quality driven by the whole-cluster component. Light on its feet yet characterful, the wine highlights Cabernet Franc's natural perfumes and its savory edge.
