Hogan Divergent Red Blend 2023
R469.00
The Divergent blend comprises of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Carignan and 23% Cinsaut.
The Carignan was picked first on 14 February from 19-year-old, unirrigated bush vines from Wellington. The Cinsaut, from the Helderberg region, was picked on 27 February. These are 47-year-old, unirrigated bush vines. The Cabernet Sauvignon was also picked on 27 February from a young bush vine vineyard in Helderberg. All components were crushed and destemmed (except for the Cinsaut which was 30% wholebunch) and naturally fermented. After fermentation the different varietals were pressed and kept separately in 225L barrels. In June the barrels were first racked and the blend was made up in October and bottled in December 2023. 9 months total in barrel.

Description
Hogan wines was started in 2014 and is a small, family-run business with Jocelyn Hogan Wilson as winemaker. She makes her wines in the beautiful Banhoek Valley and source her grapes from various regions of the Western Cape, selecting vineyards suited in terms of climate and soil to the varietals she makes. Jocelyn looks for older vines which tell the story of the vintage through their well-established root systems, gnarled trunks and lower yields. Through her close relationships with the farmers, she continually work to gain an understanding of the nuances of each vineyard, an understanding she feels is pivotal to making good wine.
