fresh straw

plum and forest floor along with a hint of smoke

This may well harmonize as there is no obvious reason why the length should be any different

The first vintage of this wine was released in 1962

Finishes extremely tactile and long

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions_italy fresh strawThe 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.
