Smith & Sheth CRU Heretaunga Chardonnay 2019
New Zealand, Hawke's Bay
Chardonnay
Description
Richly flavoured and openly textured, this wine is delicious drinking on release and set for medium term (3-5 years) cellaring for those with patience. Vibrant pale straw colour with some green tinges. Fresh and fruit-driven, yet complex and light on its feet. Vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy, lingering texture.
