“For us, making wine right now in South Africa, is about being part of a revolution that is changing the ideals of winemaking. “ – Jocelyn Hogan
With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge in plant life, dirt, wine, and the great outdoors, Jocelyn took the plunge and enrolled at the University of Stellenbosch in 2001 to dive headfirst into the world of Viticulture & Oenology. After spending seven years honing her craft at different wineries all over the Western Cape and internationally too, she joined forces with her beloved family (the Hogans and the Wilsons) to create Hogan Wines. Jocelyn’s main vocation includes spreading the word about their tasty creations both locally and globally. She’s all about those old South African vines and dreams of crafting exceptional wines through minimal intervention wine making practices.
Hogan Wines scours the Western Cape for the best grapes, seeking out vineyards that are just right for their special blends. These old vines, with stories to tell and roots deeply entrenched in the soil, produce lower yields that pack a flavourful punch, giving up their secrets through Jocelyn’s masterful winemaking practices.
But it’s not just about the grapes – it’s about the people too. Hogan Wines forges close relationships with their farmers, learning the ins and outs of each vineyard to create the best wine possible. Understanding the land is the key to making magic in a bottle, and Hogan Wines invites you to join them on this wild ride through the vines and savour every sip of their carefully crafted creations.
