Hoë-Steen Chenin Blanc 2021

Focused on balance and texture.

The Hoë-Steen vineyard was planted in 1968 west of Malmesbury towards Darling, in deep, red iron and clay rich soils. Most probably the deepest soils we work with in the Swartland. This block is a late ripener due to south facing slopes. This vineyard was planted on a “massale” selection method and grafted in the vineyard onto the root stocks a year after the root stocks were planted.

This 2 ha vineyard was harvested over two pickings mid/end February. It was hand sorted, whole bunch pressed and matured in old French oak barrels for a year.
