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.
