2023 Kusuda Pinot Noir

Hiro Kusuda’s Pinot Noir has earned its near-mythic status for good reason. From his tiny Martinborough vineyard, every berry is picked by hand, often one at a time, with an obsessive level of precision that few other winemakers would dare attempt.

The result is a Pinot Noir of rare clarity and poise. Silken in texture, it layers red cherry and wild strawberry with fine spice, rose petal, and a whisper of earth. It’s all about detail and balance - nothing forced, everything in harmony.

Kusuda’s wines are made in minute quantities and are among the most sought-after in New Zealand. If you manage to secure a bottle, consider yourself lucky.
