Smith and Sheth Wine Company
Smith and Sheth Wine Company 'CRU' Chardonnay 2015 Mangatahi, Hawkes Bay
The strengths of site and wine making shine through the bouquet of this wine with aromas of gun flint, ripe peaches and quince, apple and citrus; a layer of sulphides adding complexity and intrigue. On the palate - vibrant, textured, youthful and flavourful showing off the fruits and flintiness suggested on the nose; medium+ acidity, plenty of fine new oak, vanilla, spices and long finish. Drink now (decanting suggested) and through 2024.
