Yoshiaki and Kyoko Sato's transition from the corporate world in Tokyo to becoming some of Central Otago’s most intuitive organic farmers is one of the great modern stories of NZ wine. They treat their Mount Pisa vineyard with incredible care, and that dedication really shines through in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 season was a classic Otago rollercoaster. Nervous, frosty spring mornings that kept everyone on edge, but the warm, settled summer that followed gave the fruit a lovely density. The cooling trend toward harvest was the real kicker. It allowed the grapes to retain that vital crunch and energy. Because the Satos stick to 100% whole berries and skip the additives, you’re getting a completely transparent look at the site and the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt absolutely lives up to the name, too. There’s this beautiful floral lift of violets and wild thyme dancing around bright raspberry and cranberry notes. The palate is supple and elegant, with tannins strong and nicely defined. It’s plush and approachable but has that signature Sato poise that sets it apart from the more brooding, oak-heavy styles of the region. A stellar release from two of the most thoughtful makers in the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Aromas of al dente strawberries just ready to be picked mingle with hints of citrus and peaches, following through to a medium body. This shows lovely fluidity, drinkability and finesse, yet the tannins are present with a long linear line at the end.\"\u003cbr\u003e- James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Sato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56142118453620,"sku":"tcg1789958741601","price":69.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2023-le-ferme-de-sato-les-violettes-pinot-noir_1.webp?v=1789958767","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2023-le-ferme-de-sato-les-violettes-pinot-noir","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
