    • Description

      Yoshiaki and Kyoko Sato have been making wine in NZ’s Central Otago since moving there from Tokyo in 2006. Starting out at Felton Rd, Yoshiaki subsequently became winemaker at neighbouring Mt Edward and Kyoko continued to be vineyard supervisor at Felton Rd until 2018 when they both decided to focus full time on their own wines. Starting with their first Sato release in 2009 they have established a well deserved cult following in NZ, Australia and beyond. Since 2016 they have farmed their own plot under Mt Pisa, La Ferme de Sato, with 2019 the first release from this property, and another chapter in what will no doubt be an exciting journey.

    Sato Wines

    From a career in investment banking to making seriously small-batch natural wines, Yoshiaki Sato has laid down roots in Central Otago and embarked on the ultimate tree-change. Honing his craft over vintages in France, he joined the team at Felton Road, where Mike Weersing was a great inspiration and mentor in Yoshiaki’s vision to make natural wines from organically farmed vineyards in Mount Pisa. Yoshi splits his time between his role as winemaker at Mount Edward and his Sato label which he launched in 2009. His Sato Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have made significant waves and are hard to source, with production currently at a mere 3000 bottles each year.
