velvety and caressing medium weight flavors are almost easy-going and delicate on the delicious and lightly structured finale

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions_italy plum and forest floor alongThe 2022 Hoe Steen Chenin Blanc comes from a vineyard of clay soils over limestone, with a south facing aspect that is among the last to ripen. The nose is open knit and expressive with layers of wet stone and spicy lemon skin. Medium bodied, the palate is balanced with good acidity before ending with a fresh, clean finish. It's delightful, but I still prefer the 2021 vintage.
