Description
The 2022 Le Ferme de Sato Les Violettes Pinot Noir is the top-of-the-tree Pinot Noir expression from this much sought-after artisan Central Otago producer.
Yoshiaki and Kyoko Sato, former international bankers turned pioneering winemakers, craft this wine with absolute precision. Fermented as 100% whole berries and farmed organically on their Mount Pisa vineyard, this cuvée captures the Satos’ philosophy of minimal-intervention winemaking. Natural fermentation, no additives, and minimal sulphur additions preserve the wine’s purity and transparency, making it a genuine reflection of its terroir.
Expect a silky-smooth palate of bright red fruits—think strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of cranberry—lifted by vibrant acidity and subtle floral notes. Supple and elegant, this Pinot is as graceful as it is approachable, with a levity that sets it apart from more brooding examples of the region.
Rare and sought-after, the Les Violettes is a world-class Pinot Noir and a must-have for those chasing handcrafted wines that shine with character and charm.
