Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2023

The Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2022 is a vibrant and expressive wine from Central Otago, New Zealand. Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites, this Pinot Noir captures the essence of the region's unique terroir, offering a beautifully balanced and complex profile.

Nose: The nose is fragrant and fresh, showcasing aromas of red plum, cherry, and raspberry, with a subtle hint of heirloom apple skin. These fruit notes are layered with spices from the oak, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet.

Palate: On the palate, the wine is youthful and lively, with flavours of red cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice. The medium-plus acidity and firm tannins provide a taut, structured mouthfeel, indicating the wine’s potential for further ageing. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, adding a subtle woodiness that enhances the overall texture.

Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with the fruit and spice lingering on the palate, supported by the wine's vibrant acidity and fine tannins.

The Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2022 is an excellent example of Central Otago Pinot Noir, offering a balance of freshness, complexity, and structure. It’s recommended to enjoy this wine from late 2024 onwards, allowing it to develop further in the bottle, with optimal drinking through to 2029 and beyond​.
