Information about "Hogan Divergent Red Blend 2023"
The Hogan Divergent Red Blend captivates with intense aromas of cranberry, cassis, rose petals, and fresh herbs alongside an intriguing hint of fynbos. On the palate, it reveals a lush, dense fruitiness balanced by a vibrant freshness. The fine, silky tannins impart elegance and structure, making this wine a remarkable homage to the iconic red blends of Château Musar from Lebanon. A truly impressive assembly that showcases the rich terroir of its origins.
This Divergent Blend comprises 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Carignan, and 23% Cinsaut. The Carignan is sourced from 19-year-old, un-irrigated bush vines in Wellington, while the Cinsaut grapes hail from 47-year-old bush vines in the Helderberg region. The Cabernet Sauvignon also comes from a young, un-irrigated vineyard in Helderberg. All grapes were crushed and destemmed, except for 30% whole bunches in the Cinsaut, before undergoing natural fermentation. After fermentation, the different varieties were pressed and aged separately in 225-liter barrels for nine months.
