Kusuda Wines, From Sydney to Martinborough

Hiroyuki Kusuda was born in Tokyo and on a clear path to be a life long salary man. But a love of wine and a desire to become a winemaker saw him leave the Japanese embassy in Sydney to learn German, study Oenology and Viticulture at Geisenheim University in Germany and finally relocate the family to Martinborough in 2001. He brings a particularly Japanese sensibility and attention to detail to his winemaking.
