The Les Violettes is arguably the most seductive of the incredibly impressive Sato Pinot Noirs.

The 2022 Le Ferme de Sato Les Violettes Pinot Noir is the top-of-the-tree Pinot Noir expression from this much sought-after artisan Central Otago producer.

Yoshiaki and Kyoko Sato, former international bankers turned pioneering winemakers, craft this wine with absolute precision. Fermented as 100% whole berries and farmed organically on their Mount Pisa vineyard, this cuvée captures the Satos’ philosophy of minimal-intervention winemaking. Natural fermentation, no additives, and minimal sulphur additions preserve the wine’s purity and transparency, making it a genuine reflection of its terroir.

Rare and sought-after, the Les Violettes is a world-class Pinot Noir and a must-have for those chasing handcrafted wines that shine with character and charm.

Elegant and expressive, this Pinot Noir reflects the Satos’ organic practices and whole-berry fermentation approach, resulting in a lighter, more refined style that sets it apart from typical Otago Pinots
