Smith & Sheth Cru Heretaunga Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2016

Tasting: Hawkes Bay - November/December 2018

Region: Hawke's Bay

Year: 2016

Price: $40.00

Review/Comments
Already delicious, this debut vintage was hand-picked from mature vines and fermented and lees-aged for 11 months in French oak barriques (40% new). Light lemon/green, with a fragrant, complex bouquet, it is weighty, with highly concentrated grapefruit and peach flavours, finely integrated oak, and a rounded, lasting finish. Still youthful, it should be at its best 2020+. $40
