2023 Smith & Sheth CRU Heretaunga Chardonnay
~ 95 POINTS ~
“A wine of precision and quiet energy. Green apple, preserved lemon, peach and tarragon. A whiff of wild honey and dried chamomile. Taut and energetic, a deftly deployed mid-palate weight and fruit power that builds with time in the glass."
– Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian


2023 Smith & Sheth CRU Waitaki Chardonnay

~ 97 POINTS ~
"An ethereal texture and chalky complexity got me off to a flying start when I first tasted this wine. It has a wonderful purity and a mouth-watering thread of fine, juicy acidity that drives a lingering finish. An outstanding chardonnay."
Bob Campbell MW, Kia Ora Magazine


2025 Smith & Sheth CRU Heretaunga Albariño

~ 92 POINTS ~
It is full and richly textured yet tangy and bright; ripe orchard fruit and citrus meet savoury, nutty tones from lees time. Though a portion of the 2024 was fermented in barrel, the fruit is full of light. Expect a salty lick on the finish, like the rim of a good margarita. Concentrated and intense, this is about as serious as Albariño gets.
