In 2005, Yoshiaki Sato and his wife Kyoko, quit their banking jobs and settled in New Zealand to study grape growing and winemaking, gained hands-on experience at Central Otago wineries and started making their minimal intervention wines in 2009. They have been sourcing grapes from two organic vineyard sites in Central Otago and in 2016 they purchased their own farm: a five-hectares vineyard on Mount Pisa, planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc. Watch this space for the release of their first domaine’s Chenin Blanc. Sato makes elegant, precise wines. He picks early to retain freshness and acidity, and to avoid having fruits that are too ripe. This, and his natural winemaking, are what distinguish him from other winemakers of the region.
