CRU Heretaunga Chardonnay 2020 Vintage Overview

2020 OVERVIEW

Supple yet energetic, the 2020 Smith and Sheth CRU Heretaunga Chardonnay layers ripe peach and baked apple with lemon cream, toasted nuts and a gentle hint of coconut, all carried on a sleek, satin-like texture. Refined oak seasoning frames the fruit without excess, while bright acidity and a touch of saline, stony character give the finish impressive length and clarity.
