Ginny Povall, the visionary behind Botanica, infuses her wines with vitality and purpose, mirroring her own passionate spirit. Hailing from Massachusetts, she found her true calling at Protea Heights, a pioneering farm on the outskirts of Stellenbosch known for its Protea cultivation. Here, Ginny's dedication to both flowers and vines flourished. Since 2009, she has poured herself into Botanica, becoming one of the region's most dynamic winegrowers. With an inaugural vintage that captured hearts, Botanica consistently reveals exceptional wines from the overlooked corners of the Western Cape. Crafted and bottled at Protea Heights, Ginny's commitment extends to her Big Flower label, showcasing wines sourced from her estate's fruit. - Pascal Schildt
