Established in the late 1940s, Protea Heights was the first farm in South Africa to cultivate indigenous protea flowers commercially. Inspired by this horticultural history, it was only natural that Ginny would choose to develop her wine brands and labels with a botanical flair. Today the estate boasts eight varieties of proteas (four of which are hybridized species unique to the property), largely destined for export to Europe. The 21.6 hectare farm is planted with 10 hectares of indigenous flowers, which bloom throughout the year, and 5 hectares of organically farmed, high density vineyards. Planted between 2009 and 2010, the estate vines provide the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Albariño used to craft Botanica’s Arboretum, Big Flower and Flowergirl ranges.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-01T13:37:59-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-30T03:17:31-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_South Africa","nini3101","Other_Wine","Producer_Botanica","Region_Stellenbosch","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":19999,"price_min":19999,"price_max":19999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42736939565194,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Botanica | Arboretum","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":19999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/22_d059d2f5-6ee6-47e7-84ad-2efbfed5eebc.png?v=1675066763"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/22_d059d2f5-6ee6-47e7-84ad-2efbfed5eebc.png?v=1675066763","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Botanica | Arboretum at CaskCartel.com","id":24100917543050,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.332,"height":843,"width":280,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/22_d059d2f5-6ee6-47e7-84ad-2efbfed5eebc.png?v=1675066763"},"aspect_ratio":0.332,"height":843,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/22_d059d2f5-6ee6-47e7-84ad-2efbfed5eebc.png?v=1675066763","width":280}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2017 | Botanica | Arboretum\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cabernet Sauvignon dominant Bordeaux blend, from the lovely team at Botanica shows blackberry, black cherry and tobacco aromas.
