Kusuda Syrah 2019
Hiro Kusuda is something of an enigma.
This reclusive master winemaker has built his reputation on crafting some of the most exhilarating wines in the Martinborough region.
This is a top example of cool-climate Syrah for those who look for finesse rather than out-and-out power in their Syrah/Shiraz wines.
With each berry picked individually at perfect ripeness by his 50-person-strong vintage crew, only the very best fruit makes it to the final wine from Hiro Kusuda's tiny Martinborough vineyard.
It's sleek, spicy, and meaty in style. A graceful wine with plenty to offer over the next decade.
Syrah pairs well with rich and savory dishes, such as grilled meats, barbecue, and hearty stews.
Violet, red rose petals, fresh herbs, white pepper, and subtle spicy flavours.
