David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin BlancThe 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.
