Hogan Divergent Red Blend 2023

Willem Van Zyl — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:04:15 +0000

38% Carignan, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cinsault – the Carignan from Wellington, Cab from a young untrellised Helderberg vineyard, the Cinsault is from a 1976 block, also Helderberg. Cranberry and cassis, rose, fynbos and fresh herbs on the nose while the palate shows a dense core of fruit but also plenty of freshness, the tannins fine and mouth-coating. Inspired by the red blend of the great Lebanese winery Chateau Musar, this is again nicely realised. Alc: 13.56%.

Grapes from two Paardeberg blocks, one planted in 1979 and the other in 1987. Matured for 10 months in older oak. Expressive aromatics of pear, peach, citrus, floral perfume and herbs. The palate has impressive fruit purity, moderate but sufficient acidity and a gently savoury finish. A charming, subtle rendition of this wine. Alc: 12%.

Hogan The Galvanised Chardonnay 2025

80% of the grapes from Simonsberg, 20% from Helderberg. Matured for 10 months in older oak. Lemon plus hints of oatmeal, vanilla and reduction on the nose. The palate is composed – neither too powerful, nor too taut – with excellent fruit concentration and bright acidity. A lightly creamy texture and a gently savoury finish add to the wine’s sense of completeness. Alc: 12.5%.

Hogan Mirror for the Sun Cabernet Franc 2025

From a vineyard the lower Helderberg on granitic soils. Matured for nine months in older oak. Red cherry, raspberry, rose, garden herbs and white pepper on the nose. Lovely fruit expression – ripe in the best way, by no means underdone – alongside bright acidity and soft tannins. Immensely pleasurable to drink. Alc: 14%.
