"Complex aromas of dried strawberries and green tea with some bark and mushrooms. Medium-bodied, this has soft and very fine tannins that give form to the wine overall... Unique pinot character here in an agile and airy way. Drink or hold."

About Sato 

Sato Wines, founded by husband and wife Yoshiaki and Kyoko Sato, is one of New Zealand’s most compelling wine producers. After studying viticulture at Lincoln University in 2006, the couple trained at Felton Road and with European greats like Philippe Pacalet and Jean-Yves Bizot, grounding their approach in tradition.

They launched Sato Wines in 2009, initially as a négoce project, and began planting their own vineyard, La Ferme de Sato, in 2016. Completed in 2019, their minimalist winery in Central Otago reflects their commitment to biodynamic and organic practices.

About the Wine

True to its natural winemaking philosophy, no pesticides, herbicides, systemic fungicides, or inorganic fertilizers were used in the vineyard, and the only additive in the finished wine is a minimal 15 mg/L of sulfites added before bottling.
