Region: Western Cape

Tasting note:

34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cinsaut and 32% Carignan.

‘2019 as delicious & individual as 2018 (4.5 stars, 94 pts) with more depth, complexity in its shrubby scents, juicy wild-berry flavours & expansive finish. Near-equal carignan (Wellington), partly bunch-fermented cinsaut & cabernet (both Stellenbosch) perfect partners in fruit, freshness & structure – firm yet light. Promises beneficial ageing.’ – Platter’s Guide, 5* (95/100)

Hogan wines was started in 2014 and is a small, family-run business with Jocelyn Hogan Wilson as winemaker. They make their wines in the beautiful Banhoek Valley and source grapes from various regions of the Western Cape, selecting vineyards suited in terms of climate and soil to the varietals they make. Older vines are chosen, which tell the story of the vintage through their well-established root systems, gnarled trunks and lower yields. Through close relationships with the farmers, they continually work to gain an understanding of the nuances of each vineyard, an understanding that they believe is pivotal to making good wine.
The Divergent blend comprises of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cinsaut and 32% Carignan. The Carignan is from sixteen year old, unirrigated bush vines from Wellington. The Cinsaut, from the Helderberg region, are from forty-four year old, unirrigated bush vines. The Cabernet Sauvignon is from twenty year old trellised and irrigated vines at 295m altitude from Polkadraai in the Stellenbosch region.
