Kusuda Syrah 2015
Tasting Notes
Kusuda Syrah 2015 is a benchmark cool-climate New Zealand Syrah from Martinborough, crafted by Hiro Kusuda with a Japanese philosophy of precision, restraint and meticulous vineyard work. Sourced from a premium private cellar, this highly sought-after red displays remarkable purity, perfume and finesse.
Fragrant aromas of blackberry, dark plum and violet unfold into layers of cracked pepper, wild herbs and savoury spice. The palate is elegant rather than heavy, combining silky tannins with bright acidity and a finely detailed finish. Refined and beautifully balanced, this Martinborough Syrah offers immediate charm alongside the structure to develop gracefully in bottle.
Pair this premium New Zealand red wine with roast lamb, duck, grilled steak, barbecue dishes or slow-cooked beef. A distinguished expression of elegant cool-climate Syrah, the Kusuda Syrah 2015 is prized for its perfume, purity and sophisticated structure.
