Smith & Sheth CRU Howell Vineyard Chardonnay 2021, Hawke's Bay

Fabulous bouquet of complexity and individuality, scents of peach and apple custard, white nectarine and layers of lees and barrel and white smoke. A youthful taut texture touches the palate first with contrasting flavours of yellow and white fleshed stone fruits, lemon and a core of mineral stony soils then white smoke and new wood power. Tannins and acidity deliver additional mouthfeel without compromising the core fruit drive. A delicious wine that will reward those who cellar till 2025 then enjoy through 2034+.
