Collection: Kusuda Wines

"In the North Island I came across the utterly different yet equally remarkable Pinot Noirs of Kusuda Wines. Here again, I tasted sheer remarkableness. Owner-winemaker Hiroyuki Kusuda, born and raised in Japan and now residing in Martinborough New Zealand, is obsessed with extreme berry selection. Kusuda brings in 50 Japanese pickers at harvest, and he described (and displayed photographs of) the most rigorous and extreme berry-sorting that I've ever heard of. The result? Suffice it to say that you can taste the difference. The future!" Matt Kramar, The Wine Spectator.

This year, we haven been fortunate enough to receive a few bottles of Pinot Noir and Riesling.

The Kusuda Pinot Noir 2022 is an absolute masterpiece, offering layers of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle earthy undertones. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity create a refined, perfectly balanced finish. One of NZ's best!

The Kasuda Riesling 2023 is bone-dry with delicate flavours of lemon blossom and lime, intertwined with saline-mineral finish. Extraordinary power and finesse, with significant cellaring potential.
