Hawke's Bay (Heretaunga in Maori) is the birthplace of Smith & Sheth. It is located on the southern borders of the warm Bridge Pa appellation. The grapes are sourced from private growers as well as Smith & Sheth own estates (Bridge Pa, Omahu and Mangatahi). All on gravelly soils, these vineyards have a long history of producing exceptional wines that truly represent the potential of Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay. | |

Tasting note |
This wine reveals lovely fresh aromas of white fleshed peach, roasted cashews and hints toasted brioche. The palate is immediately open with ripe stonefruit and confit lemon flavours surrounded by a lovely creamy texture and a hint of fine oak. The finish is long with savoury, flinty notes.
