Description

Hiro Kusuda, a true enigma in the world of winemaking, stands as a reclusive master craftsman, meticulously cultivating his reputation by producing some of the most exhilarating wines in the acclaimed Martinborough region.

This Syrah, a shining exemplar of cool-climate viticulture, transcends the conventional, catering to those who appreciate finesse over sheer power in their Syrah/Shiraz wines.

In a meticulous process where each berry is individually plucked at the pinnacle of ripeness by Kusuda's 50-person-strong vintage crew, only the crème de la crème finds its way into the final composition from his diminutive Martinborough vineyard.

Sleek, spicy, and imbued with a meaty character, this wine exudes a graceful sophistication that promises to evolve gracefully over the next decade, showcasing the nuanced brilliance synonymous with Hiro Kusuda's winemaking prowess.

Review

Moderately deep colour. Delicately aromatic with floral and cherry scents that are joined by fresh herb, black pepper, dark chocolate, dark berry and spicy oak. Vibrant, high energy wine with a core of bright berry fruit flavours balanced by fine, peppery tannins. Should develop well with bottle age.
