Smith & Sheth CRU Heretaunga Chardonnay 2020, Hawke's Bay

A sophisticated bouquet with complexity and intrigue. Aromas of white nectarine and apple, grapefruit flesh then wood spice and a lees-led complexity. Oak is fresh with scents of new and used barrel. Excellent texture as the wine touches the palate with a satin touch then core fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet take over, fine tannins, medium+ acidity and a lengthy finish with a touch of gun-flint. Well made, youthful still with best drinking from early 2023 through 2027+.
