Kusuda Syrah 2017
Tasting Notes
Kusuda Syrah 2017 is a benchmark expression of premium cool-climate New Zealand Syrah from Martinborough, crafted by Hiro Kusuda with a Japanese philosophy of precision, purity and meticulous vineyard work.
Fragrant aromas of blackberry, dark plum and violet unfold with layers of cracked pepper, wild herbs and savoury spice. The palate is refined and beautifully balanced, combining silky tannins, bright acidity and impressive length. Elegant rather than heavy, this fine Martinborough Syrah offers cool-climate freshness, perfume and compelling depth.
Founded in 2004, Kusuda Wines has earned an exceptional reputation for producing finely detailed wines of purity and finesse. The 2017 vintage is sourced from a premium private cellar, making it a distinguished addition to any collection of fine New Zealand wine.
Enjoy with roast lamb, duck, prime steak, barbecue dishes or slow-cooked beef.
