"Our
goal is to craft Pinot Noir
with sheer purity and finesse"
Pinot Noir,
one of the grapes that create
the finest red wines in the
world, is the type of red wine
grape that I, Hiroyuki KUSUDA,
like the best of all.
My dream is to produce a Pinot
Noir that can be acknowledged
at the highest level. In order
to pursue that dream, I immigrated
to New Zealand with my family
in may 2001, where I believe
has one of the greatest potentials
to grow Pinot Noir. Please keep
an eye on KUSUDA WINES Pinot
Noir. |

Sauvignon Blanc |
|
| Price: |
|
750ml
bottle
|
2,290円 |
|
|
| Tasting
notes
: |
| A
complex
and intensely
aromatic
Sauvignon
Blanc.
This wine
is perfumed
with aromas
of passion
fruit
and gooseberries
with a
hint of
dogwood.
In the
mouth
the wine
is full
bodied
with real
concentration
of flavour
and aroma,
a passion
fruit
character
is dominant
but this
is backed
by subtle
dry grass
like flavours
with creamy
complexity
and a
very crisp
ripe appley
acidity.This
is a wine
for drinking
whilst
young
but has
the substance
and concentration
to develop
well over
two to
five years
once the
primary
fruit
aromas
have subsided. |

| Tasting
notes
: |
| To the eye, it is deep ruby, with a complex nose suggesting pencil cedar, fruitcake, spices, currents, and even some cherry. To the taste, there is adequate tannin, an expansive mouthfeel of plum, mulberry, a touch of ripe cassis. A wine that shows charm now, yet will evolve and develop over the next 10 to 15 years. |
