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

Fabulous bouquet of fresh yellow stone fruits, a leesy mealy abstract seam, baked apple and a moment of caramel/raw brown sugar. Spice and a layer of wood smoke along with a stony gravel soil quality presents a wine with complexity and style. A lovely weight and texture across the palate with a silk-cream touch, flavours mirror the bouquet finishing with a vanilla and bake-custard-style finish. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029.
