Hiroyuki Kusuda loves wine since an early age and somehow knew it will be his future. After he went onto study Oenology and Viticulture at the Geisenheim University in 1997, he travelled in Australia, France and New Zealand and got so inspired by the terroir of Martinborough that he decided to call it home and moved definitely in 2001. He wanted to create something unique, to be compared to the greatest wines in the world. Kusuda is extremely meticulous, which partly explain the exceptional quality and amazing precision of his wines. Indeed, those are rare wines which don't see too often in Australia as the main market is obviously Japan where they have developed a cult following.
Why do we like it?
Another superb bottling from Kusuda... a wine that speaks like a Northern Rhone, hence we love it so much. This wine reflects Hiroyuki hard work, day in and day out. Its has a lovely structure with medium body, fine silky tannins and a long smoky finish. Aromas come as black fruit, with black olive tones, a touch of smokiness and a lovely grounded black pepper character on the background. This is a bottle that you can keep for as long as you want.
