Botanica | Flower Girl Albarino 2025

A unique South African wine crafted from this Iberian grape varietal. Intense aromatics of white peach and pink grapefruit follow through on the vibrant palate. Packed with zesty acidity, the wine refreshes with its juicy nectarine savors, backed by undercurrents of grapefruit pith, lemongrass and lime zest.

The vibrant FLOWERGIRL range celebrates creativity, experimentation, and a departure from tradition. Crafted from organically grown grapes from Botanica’s home vineyards on Protea Heights Farm, these wines are all about less intervention, less convention, and maximum deliciousness!

Nestled in the heart of Cape Winelands Fynbos, Botanica Wines blossoms from a rich legacy as South Africa’s first commercial protea flower farm. Each bottle is a tribute to the estate’s vibrant floral heritage, with wine labels inspired by the indigenous blooms that flourish year-round.

Producer information
The Protea Heights vineyards were established in 2009 and 2010, with high-density plantings ranging from 5,600 – 10,100 vines per hectare. They are positioned primarily on cooler south-to-southeast-facing slopes, at an altitude ranging from 200 to 250 meters above sea level. Cooling afternoon breezes from False Bay provide natural air conditioning for the vineyards during the warm summer months, cooling the temperatures by an average 10+ degrees. The vineyards were converted to organic farming practices in 2014.
