Today’s Offer:
David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc Swartland 2018 - From $85 to $65
This is David and Nadia’s single vineyard Chenin Blanc. I think it is one of the benchmark Chenin Blanc’s from South Africa. The product page has more details on the wine.

“The 2018 Hoë-Steen is predominantly Chenin Blanc, planted toward Darling on deep iron-clay soils and usually picked after the reds. The vines were planted in 1968. This has a more stony bouquet than the Skaliekop, a very slight nutty/smoky note emanating from a few Palomino vines. The palate is just superb. It is supremely well defined with a lovely lock of salinity that runs from start to finish. There is tangible energy to this wine, which displays a hint of tangerine and even menthol toward the finish. Superb.”
Jancis Robinson
“Creamy texture. Racy and lifted. Very dancing and fine. Real impact on the palate. Lightly chewy finish. Very long. 17.5/20 points.”
