Smith & Sheth 'CRU Heretaunga' Chardonnay 2022, Hawkes Bay

A wine that is as delicious as the bouquet of complexity suggests. Aromas and flavours of ripe toasty stone fruits, grapefruit peel and barrel spices. Weighty with a bold full-bodied mouthfeel, flavours of stone fruits and citrus, wood spices and some barrel smoke, then a cashew nut and roasted Brazil-nut quality adding complexity and richness. Alcohol and acidity frame these ideas completing the wine. Youthful with some development time ahead offering best drinking from late 2025 through 2034.
