Cru Kawarau

Central Otago Pinot Noir

The Smith & Sheth Cru Kawarau is an exquisite Pinot Noir that beautifully embodies the essence of Central Otago. This red wine showcases a medium body, presenting a delightful balance between richness and delicacy. Its acidity is high, contributing a refreshing brightness that elevates the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with vibrant notes of cherry and raspberry complemented by subtle undertones of earth and spice. Tannins are medium, offering a gentle structure that enhances the wine's elegance without overpowering the palate. This delightful expression of Pinot Noir is also bone dry, making it a harmonious choice for food pairings and an enjoyable sip on its own, all while capturing the unique terroir of its origin.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
