2021 | Hogan Wines | Galvanised Chardonnay

It has quite a rich bouquet with dried honey and almond notes, touches of yellow plum and lanolin emerging with time.

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2021 Chardonnay The Galvanised comes from 16-year-old trellised vines cultivated on clay soil, matured in used French oak. It has quite a rich bouquet with dried honey and almond notes, touches of yellow plum and lanolin emerging with time. The palate is a little honeyed on the entry like the Chenin Blanc, slightly lower in acidity; however, reminding me more of a decent California Chardonnay rather than Burgundy on the finish. Will be difficult to resist in its youth, although I am seeking a bit more nerve.

• Tim Atkin: Normally made as a 50/50 cuvée of grapes from Banghoek and Elandskloof, this is an exceptional bottling of the former region in 2021. Showing the coolness of its 570 metre site, it has lots of structure, some crème fraîche notes from full malolactic, nuanced oak and a core of tangerine and fresh lemon.
