Smith & Sheth hand select only the best fruit from exceptional vineyards, then nurture, blend and bottle wines that express the beauty and character of a place, and the passion of its people under the CRU label.

Our CRU wines represent the Smith & Sheth view of the Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough and Central Otago regions. Somewhat like the village wines of Burgundy, our CRU Chardonnay, Albariño, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are sourced from trusted growers with a long history of exceptional wines that truly represent the region’s potential.
