Nanny Goat Super Nanny Pinot Noir 2021

The Nanny Goat Super Nanny Pinot Noir 2021 is a powerful and refined expression of Central Otago's terroir. This wine is crafted from grapes grown in the prestigious Pisa and Queensberry vineyards, showcasing the depth and complexity that these sites can produce. The 2021 vintage was meticulously hand-harvested and matured for 14 months in French oak barriques, with 29% of the barrels being new, enhancing the wine’s richness and structure.

Nose: The bouquet is highly fragrant, offering a complex array of ripe dark berries, plums, and blackcurrant, interwoven with baking spices, clove, and a hint of vanilla. There’s also a delicate note of dried rose petals and a touch of smoky wood, adding further layers of complexity.

Palate: On the palate, this Pinot Noir is concentrated and focused, with a core of dark berry fruit complemented by smoky wood and baking spices. The wine is dry and full-bodied, with firm tannins and a bright acidity that provide a solid foundation for the rich fruit flavours. The oak influence is well-integrated, giving the wine a polished texture and a long, powerful finish.

Finish: The finish is long and youthful, with persistent flavours of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle earthiness. This wine is expected to develop further complexity with age, making it an excellent candidate for cellaring.

The Nanny Goat Super Nanny Pinot Noir 2021 is best enjoyed from 2026 onwards, with optimal drinking through to 2036 and beyond. It exemplifies the richness and elegance that Central Otago Pinot Noir can achieve.
