Smith & Sheth Cru Heretaunga Albarino 2022
Refreshing lime citrus peel, ripe peach, and mandarin characters. Rich and full bodied yet fresh with crisp acidity giving great balance, length and structure.
100% hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed to gently extract juice while minimising phenolic extraction. Barrel fermented in predominantly old French oak barriques with 15% being indigenous and 30% malolactic fermentation. 9 months in barrel on lees before being blended to tank in December 2022 followed by an additional month on full lees. No fining agents were used.
