Now producing wine under his own banner with American tech billionaire Brian Sheth, he is making some truly exciting variations on the classic New Zealand varietals and this is a complex example of Waitaki Valley Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eHand-picked and whole bunch pressed, the palate is electric yet refined, beginning with a lively zing of lemon peel that gives way to a richer, more indulgent note of lemon meringue pie, underpinned by a baked biscuit texture that brings structure and a whisper of warmth. The wine's tension and drive are beautifully counterbalanced by its creamier mid-palate elements, showcasing both elegance and power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Advintage Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43376658841689,"sku":"7388","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/7602\/5177\/files\/7388.jpg?v=1781775726","url":"https:\/\/advintage.co.nz\/products\/smith-and-sheth-cru-waitaki-chardonnay-2023","provider":"Advintage Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
