The Botanica Wines 2025 Stellenbosch Flowergirl Albarino is stainless-steel fermented at cool temperatures and bottled quickly to capture aromatic purity, resulting in a saline-edged wine with waxy nuances and quiet intensity. Produced in a tiny run of just 4,000 bottles that sells out almost instantly, the wine reflects Ginny Povall's experimental spirit and her broader work cultivating indigenous proteas on the farm using seed trials and cross-breeding, reinforcing the estate’s deep connection to its botanical landscape.
