A pure nose of Granny Smith apples
culminating in a stupendously long finish that offers intense minerality
exotic spices and plums
creating a crest or halo that radiates from deep inside
David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc Vintage:2023 A pure nose of GrannyThe 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.
