Blackberries with aromas of white peppers and chili peppers

The rich but refined middle weight flavors are less powerful than those of the Vaudésir but notably more elegant while delivering a fine bead of minerality on the impeccably well-balanced and persistent finale

Full-bodied and chewy yet intense and persistent

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

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions_italy Blackberries with aromas of whiteThe 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.
