    Smith and Sheth 2016 Cru Heretaunga Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)

    This is a polished wine of restraint. It's a great effort for a brand new label. A perfumed nose of lemon curd, honeydew melon, blossoms, honeysuckle and oyster shells lead neatly into a palate that is well balanced, slippery in texture and framed by vanillin oak. One for the cellar, this should age with grace until 2029.
