earth and ferrous-earth aromas are in keeping with the equally serious and tightly wound flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the dense and superbly long finish

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions earth and ferrous-earth aromas areThe 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.
