Smith and Sheth
Cru Omahu Cantera
| Hawke's Bay (Heretaunga in Maori) is the birthplace of Smith & Sheth. The parcels of fruit from the Omahu appellation are all located in the famous Gimblett Gravels winegrowing district. The incredibly stony soils of the ancient bed of the Ngaruroro River and this warm location create perfect conditions for ripe, full-bodied and gravelly-textured red grapes. | |

| Tasting note |
Complex dark red fruits predominant on the nose. A beautiful fusion of spicy berry aromas with liquorice and sweet oak and vanilla in the background. The three varieties in this wine complement each other in both aroma and palate. The Cabernet Sauvignon delivers power and structure, the Tempranillo, juiciness and flesh with the Cabernet Franc adding aromatic lift and freshness.
