2020 | Smith & Sheth 'Cru' Heretaunga Chardonnay | Hawke's Bay Jim Barry The palate on this wine

The palate on this wine evokes a traditional Champagne in weight and fineness of bubbles

well reflecting the character of this small windy corner of Sicily

but these aromas are joined by touches of cooked mango

The flavor profile is a stewed black plum

2020 | Smith & Sheth 'Cru' Heretaunga Chardonnay | Hawke's Bay Jim Barry The palate on this wineA sophisticated, pure and silky textured bouquet, fresh peach and red apple, salty air and a clay stone mineral quality. The oak seam is noticeable but not overdone, with a nut and baking spice complexity. A powerful satin texture is contrasted by a core of fruit, flavours of new and mild toasted barrel. Refreshing, lengthy and complex. 95 Pts Decanter
