We chose a selection of their Estate Wines & Heritage Collection to get an overview of the wine range by Hazendal. 

Heritage White Blend
This wine feels like a fresh breeze on a warm day. It’s got this lively mix of lemon, green melon, and citrus blossom that just pops in your mouth. Then there’s a hint of pear and guava that adds a bit of sweetness. The finish is smooth and creamy, almost like a soft hug that lingers.

Heritage Blanc de Noir (our favourite!!!)
Imagine strolling through a summer garden with a bowl of freshly picked berries in hand. That’s the vibe this wine gives off. The aromas are a delightful mix of strawberries, raspberries, and peaches, with a touch of floral elegance from roses and citrus blossoms. It’s fruity and balanced, with a refreshing acidity and a creamy finish that makes you want to take another sip.

Hazendal Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc
This blend is a real treat for the senses. The Sémillon brings out these lovely floral notes—think honeysuckle and violets—while the Sauvignon Blanc adds a zesty twist with freshly cut grass and grapefruit. It’s crisp and refreshing, with a textured, creamy finish that leaves you wanting more.

Hazendal Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir is like a walk through a forest after rain—earthy and rich, with hints of mushroom that add a savory depth. Juicy plum, raspberry, and strawberry notes make it fruit-forward, but it’s that smoky undertone that really sets it apart. The tannins are elegant, and the finish is long and satisfying.

Hazendal Pinotage
This Pinotage is a warm embrace of red fruit aromas—plum, cherry, and violets greet you immediately. There’s a seductive smokiness to it, with hints of truffle that give it a bit of an edge. It’s well-structured, with the fruit and oak playing off each other beautifully, and the finish is lush and lingering.

Hazendal Syrah
This Syrah is like diving into a bowl of juicy dark berries—blueberry and blackberry dominate, with a spicy kick of white pepper. There’s a rich, meaty quality to it, with a subtle smokiness that reminds me of Parma ham. On the palate, it’s all about the fruit, with a lingering spice that complements the silky tannins perfectly.
