Tasting notes
Nose
On the nose it is expressive and delicate at the same time, with aromas of fresh red fruit such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle floral notes of violets and light spicy nuances that provide complexity. A soft earthy background and a mineral touch complete the aromatic ensemble, faithfully reflecting the character of Central Otago.
Palate
In the mouth it stands out for its silky texture and fine tannins, which gently envelop the palate. The balanced acidity provides freshness and dynamism, while the finish lengthens, leaving hints of red fruit, flowers and a very elegant touch of spice.

Description
The Smith & Sheth CRU Central Otago Pinot Noir 2021 is a refined expression of Pinot Noir grown in the Central Otago wine region of New Zealand. This wine is part of the Smith & Sheth CRU range, a winery distinguished by its focus on quality and authentic terroir expression. The winery was founded by Steve Smith MW, a renowned viticulturist and Master of Wine, and Brian Sheth, an investor and wildlife conservationist. Together, they have established a winery that blends winemaking tradition with innovative and sustainable practices.
The Pinot Noir used in this wine comes from select vineyards in Central Otago, a region known for its extreme continental climate and diverse soils, which provide an ideal environment for cultivating this variety. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure the selection of the best fruit, and vinification is carried out with minimal intervention to preserve the wine's purity and character.
Smith & Sheth's CRU range is characterized by its focus on quality and the authentic expression of terroir. Each wine in this range reflects the winery's commitment to sustainability, responsible viticulture, and crafting wines that capture the essence of their origin.
