Kusuda Syrah 2016
Tasting Notes
Kusuda Syrah 2016 is a benchmark cool-climate New Zealand Syrah from Martinborough, crafted by Hiro Kusuda with a Japanese philosophy of precision and meticulous vineyard work. Sourced from a premium private cellar, this highly distinctive red wine expresses the purity, perfume and finesse that define Kusuda Wines.
Fragrant aromas of blackberry and dark plum unfold with violet, pepper, wild herbs and savoury spice. The palate is elegant rather than heavy, combining silky tannins, bright acidity and finely detailed fruit with remarkable balance and character. A refined Martinborough Syrah with an expressive cool-climate profile, it is beautifully suited to lamb, duck, steak, barbecue and slow-cooked beef.
