dry and notably more complex finish that is perceptibly firmer

but it also has some brioche aromas

Like the Cazetiers this is definitely going to require several years of bottle age to round off the mildly rustic tannins

Succulent dark cherry

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions dry and notably more complexThe 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.
