TASTING NOTES

A refined choice for slow evenings and beautifully made food, Kusuda Syrah 2017 brings cool-climate elegance to the table.

This benchmark New Zealand Syrah from Martinborough opens with fragrant blackberry, dark plum and violet, followed by cracked pepper, wild herbs and savoury spice. Silky tannins, bright acidity and impressive length give it a graceful, finely detailed feel that is rich without ever becoming heavy.

Crafted by Hiro Kusuda with a Japanese philosophy of precision and meticulous vineyard work, this premium Martinborough wine is a standout expression of elegant, cool-climate Syrah. Pour it with roast lamb, duck, prime steak, barbecue or slow-cooked beef, and savour the moment over a meal worth lingering over.

Sourced from a premium private cellar.

Scores

95/100

Delicate, edgy, supple syrah with violet, red rose petal, fresh herb, white pepper and subtle spicy flavours. The wine has great purity, power and an ethereal texture. Needs bottle-age to reveal its full potential.
