Sato Wines

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.

"Sato Wines is one of several excellent wineries in Central Otago that made some of New Zealand's top releases from the 2023 vintage. The wines are totally handmade by the husband-and-wife team of Yoshi and Kyoko Sato. A number of their bottles stood out in our recent New Zealand Tasting Report, including the Sato Pinot Noir Central Otago La Ferme de Sato Les Violettes 2023."

Frequently asked questions about Sato Wines

What makes Sato Wines wines special?

Sato Wines wines are selected for their quality, personality and sense of place. We focus on producers whose wines feel distinctive, carefully made and genuinely enjoyable to drink.

How are these wines made?

Sato Wines follows a thoughtful, low-intervention approach to winemaking. The focus is on healthy vineyards, careful farming, hand-harvested fruit, wild yeast fermentations and avoiding unnecessary additions or manipulation in the winery. Rather than chasing a particular style, the aim is to produce wines that honestly reflect the vineyard, the season and the winemaker's intent.

Which Sato Wines wine should I start with?

If you're new to Sato Wines, start with the bottle that best matches the style you already enjoy. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll happily point you toward the best place to begin.

Are these wines good for gifting?

Absolutely. Sato Wines makes an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys discovering thoughtful, small-batch wines. Add a greeting card at checkout and we'll make sure no pricing information is included in the parcel.

How should I store and serve these wines?

Store bottles somewhere cool, dark and stable. Serve whites, sparkling and lighter reds chilled, and give fuller reds a gentle cool-down rather than serving them too warm.
