2022 Smith and Sheth 'Cru' Wairau Sauvignon Blanc Wairau Valley, New Zealand

The 2022 Smith & Sheth CRU Wairau Sauvignon Blanc captures the distinctive character of Wairau Valley in Marlborough, one of New Zealand's most celebrated Sauvignon Blanc regions. Smith & Sheth's CRU collection focuses on exceptional vineyards and the expression of place, and this wine brings together fruit from trusted growers in the Wairau Valley. The cooler 2022 vintage produced a vibrant and refreshing style, with layers of lime, gooseberry, bright apple, and subtle citrus, complemented by a distinctive oyster-shell-like mineral character. Crisp acidity and a textured palate give the wine both energy and length, making it an elegant expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy it with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish, goat cheese, or light summer dishes.
