Hiro Kusuda founded Kusuda Wines in 2004, bringing a Japanese philosophy of precision and meticulous vineyard work to Martinborough. His Syrah has become a benchmark for cool-climate New Zealand Syrah, prized for purity, perfume and finesse.

Fragrant blackberry and dark plum meet violet, pepper, herbs and savoury spice, with silky tannins and bright acidity. Elegant rather than heavy, it’s superb with lamb, duck, steak, barbecue or slow-cooked beef.

Sourced from a premium private cellar

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.

Critic Scores

Vibrant syrah in a bright high-energy style with cherry, blueberry, violet, white pepper and crushed herb flavours supported by assertive acidity that helps drive a lengthy finish. The wine has Kusuda's trademark ethereal texture and purity, but would benefit from having riper flavours

About this Wine

Shiraz

Bold and full-bodied, Shiraz delivers rich dark fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, layered with black pepper, clove, and subtle smoke. Firm tannins and a velvety texture give it real structure, often rounded out by notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing. A versatile pairing partner for grilled meats and hearty dishes, it's one of Australia's most planted red varieties
