Kimura Cellars

Kimura Cellars

KIMURA CELLARS was established by a Japanese winemaker, Shigehisa Kimura (nicknamed Shige), in Marlborough in 2009. He has been driven by pure passion and desire to produce premium wine since then. The wine label of KIMURA CELLARS represents a Koru with a cherry blossom motif. The cherry blossom is a symbol of Japan, just as a Koru is a symbol of New Zealand. The meaning of the Koru on the design of the label represents “harmony” between New Zealand and Japan, as it is made by a Japanese winemaker in New Zealand, and also “new start” and “growth” for KIMURA CELLARS.

Kimura Pinot Noir

Vintage 2022

RED
● 100% Pinot Noir

The wine has aromas of ripe raspberry, strawberry, and black cherry with a harmony of roast and subtle spicy clove from oak aging and violet. It is expressive with elegance and a refined palate displaying richness and generosity. Complex flavors are layered and balanced by fine silky tannin and concentrated fruit characters.

Kimura Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage 2023

WHITE
● 100% Sauvignon Blanc

The nose displays pure aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, and underlying grassy character with subtle flinty tones. The palate is concentrated with a seductive array of ripe guava, white nectarine, and a hint of mint flavors, naturally complemented by a fine thread of acidity and a long finish.
