glycerol-rich palate of similarly remarkable concentration and allure

Medium-bodied but intense and fine

The powerful finish is spicy and dusty with terrific intensity and ends on a note of velvet

From vines planted in 1912

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions_italy glycerol-rich palate of similarly remarkableThe 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.
