Yoshiaki and Kyoko Sato traded careers in Japanese banking for winemaking in Central Otago, training at Lincoln University and working alongside some of the region's leading producers before launching Sato Wines in 2009. Their estate label, La Ferme de Sato, comes from a small, organically farmed vineyard they planted on the slopes of Mt Pisa in the Cromwell sub-region.
The vineyard's east-facing aspect was chosen to avoid the harshest afternoon sun, which Yoshi believes is key to freshness and refinement. Of the 3.19 hectares planted, just under a hectare is Chardonnay, grown across three blocks on soils that become increasingly stony schist up the slope.
Le Chant du Vent, meaning "song of the wind", is named for the whistling sound the wind makes through the vineyard posts. Made with minimal intervention and only a slight, well-integrated oak influence, it is an elegant, finely structured Chardonnay with the capacity to develop in bottle for many years.
