TASTING NOTES

Your special-occasion Syrah has arrived. Kusuda Syrah 2015 is a refined Martinborough red with the elegance, perfume and poise to make any moment feel a little more memorable.

Fragrant blackberry, dark plum and violet open into layers of cracked pepper, wild herbs and savoury spice. Silky tannins and bright acidity keep this cool-climate New Zealand Syrah beautifully balanced, with a detailed finish that lingers rather than overwhelms.

Crafted by Hiro Kusuda with a meticulous Japanese philosophy, this sought-after wine is a benchmark for premium Martinborough Syrah. Pour it with roast lamb, duck, grilled steak or slow-cooked beef, and savour the moment from the first fragrant sip to the last.

96/100

Aromatic wine with a spicy, peppery nose leading to a supple, almost ethereal palate that displays cherry, plum, floral and spice flavours. An elegant wine with refined power and obvious cellaring potential.
