Hogan Chenin Blanc 2022
R399.00
The Chenin Blanc grapes were handpicked in early February over three pickings from old bush vines planted on decomposed granite from Joubertskloof in Swartland, delivering only 2 tons/ha (11hL/ha). The vineyard block is irrigated and is east facing which contributes to the favourably low pH.
Gentle whole bunch press. No sulphur or any other additions were made to the must at pressing. Natural fermentation took place in 225L and 300L French oak barrels – 25% new, followed by natural malolactic fermentation, after which the wine received the first sulphur addition. The wine was racked off the gross lees in late November and bottled in December 2021.
Tim Atkin, South Africa Special Report:
“Intense, concentrated white … it’s leesy, complex and layered with pear and waxed lemon flavours and a racy, chiselled finish. 2022-29.
94/100.”
ANALYSIS: ALC 13% | TA 5.2 g/l | RS 1.9 g/l | pH 3.5

Description
After making some award-winning wines at La Bri in Franschhoek, Jocelyn took some years out of the wine game to start a family. She returned with a bang at Cape Wine 2015 with her debut wine, a Swartland Chenin Blanc from vintage 2014.
Jocelyn’s wines are as impactful as their maker is unassuming; powerful whites and graceful, perfumed reds. She has a deliberateness in her approach and an eye for detail that is reflected in her wines. Single-minded, classy, and quality-focussed.
