About Smith & Sheth Wines
We are in the business of creating great wines that bring great pleasure. As contemporary negociants Steve Smith MW and Brian Sheth seek out the exceptional. Hand selecting the best grapes from the finest vineyards. Establishing steadfast relationships with the land, growers and makers who form the DNA of our CRU. The French call it “terroir” – a sense of place. In New Zealand we have our own defining word – Tūrangawaewae – our place to stand in the world. This word describes the special connection of a people and the land they live, love and work in. Our wines reflect the magic and alchemy of this relationship and the true beauty of these places. It is our privilege to share the pleasure, culture and craft of wine with you.
Aromas of purple fruits and kalamata olive, some chocolate and black spice ideas then smoky barrel and dark earth. Dry and rather delicious on the palate with a firm texture, plenty of acidity and earthy qualities framing the core of fruit and olive ideas suggested in the bouquet. Polished tannins and acidity deliver the backbone while the fruit coats the palate with flavour. Lengthy, dry and delicious with best drinking from late 2026 through 2032.
