From the home of Syrah in Hawkes Bay this is a classic Gimblett Gravels style – on the nose blackcurrant and liquorice with dusty dry spices, mulberry and plum pudding. The palate is very concentrated with a rich grippy tannins. Give this wine time to open up and pair it with a hearty steak.

Smith & Sheth is a contemporary ‘négociant’ inspired by the original French négociants and British merchants who worked, using their connections, to create expert wines.

Founded in 2014, and based in Hawke’s Bay, they seek out the best grapes from the finest vineyards, establishing steadfast relationships with the land, growers and makers. Smith & Sheth source from private growers and their own estates in Bridge Pa, Omahu and Mangatahi: all sub-regions of the Heretaunga appellation. These vineyards, all on gravelly soils, have a long history of producing exceptional wines that truly represent the potential of Hawke’s Bay Syrah and Chardonnay.

Their Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from Marlborough, and Pinot Noir from Central Otago, but it is Heretaunga where they are based, which is their self-proclaimed ‘Tūrangawaewae’ - their place to stand in the world. Here, they make outstanding wines.
