Hogan Chenin Blanc 2016

On the nose, there’s a note of dried flowers before stone fruit, a hint of ginger and a touch of spice. The palate has plenty of concentrated fruit but also lovely freshness while the finish is long and gently savoury. Deftly done.

Small batch Swartland Chenin Blanc made by a Tennis Pro turned Winemaker from 40 year old vines on the slightly cooler South Eastern slopes of Swartland, facing the cooling Atlantic Ocean. Chenin Blanc the grape of Vouvray in the Loire, loves the sunshine of South Africa and is very generous on the palate. This is a naturally made, site specific wine that will change with vintage, 2015 being an early harvest of great quality.
