Nanny Goat Vineyard, ‘Super Nanny’, Pinot Noir

Central Otago | New Zealand

Showing ever changing layers of plums, bramble, sweet baking spice, & an ethereal floral lift. The palate is rich upon entry, flowing on to a platform of dark berry fruits, dried herbs, and spice. Fine velvety tannins.

About the Producer

Two select parcels of fruit were handpicked then hand sorted upon arrival at the winery – one parcel with approximately 15% whole bunches included, and another with approximately 30% whole bunches. The must was cold soaked for up to seven days before warming and fermenting naturally, with the cap gently plunged up to three times daily to gain maximum colour and fl flavour extraction. Following ferment, individual batches remained on skins with gentle maceration for an additional two weeks to enhance tannin structure before being gently pressed and run to 225L barrels (40% New) to complete a natural Malolactic fermentation.

Food Pairing

Will pair well with chargrilled meat, pork ribs and Jerk chicken.
