La Ferme de Sato

Yoshi and Kyoko met in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district, both originally working in finance before deciding to pursue a life of winemaking. Their path took them to work with Burgundian legends Jean-Yves Bizot and Philippe Pacalet, before New Zealand icon Felton Road in Central Otago. Yoshi in the winery and Kyoko in the vineyard, they spent several years refining their approach before releasing wines under their own Sato label from sourced fruit. In 2016 they purchased a tiny 3.2 hectare site not far from Felton Road, planted it biodynamically and began the slow process of establishing their own estate. 2019 was the first vintage from La Ferme de Sato.
