Sato La Ferme de Sato Schisteux 2022 by Sato from Central Otago is a distinctive, terroir driven red that reflects careful farming and a minimal intervention approach. Drawn from schist rich soils, it offers depth, savoury complexity and a strong sense of place.

Aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and plum are joined by notes of cracked pepper, dried herbs and earthy minerality. On the palate, the Sato La Ferme de Sato Schisteux, 2022 is medium bodied and finely structured, with fresh acidity, layered fruit and gently chalky tannins. The wine feels composed and purposeful, finishing long with a savoury, mineral edge.

This is a superb food wine. Pair it with grilled lamb, pork, roasted vegetables or rustic Mediterranean dishes. Ideal for drinkers seeking a thoughtful, site expressive Central Otago red with character and restraint.
