Log in / Sign up Nanny Goat 'Super Nanny' Pinot Noir 2022
Nanny Goat Vineyard is named after the wild goats that roam the mountainous terrain of the Central Otago. A wine of contrasting elements – equal measures of dark seductive plum fruit and lifted ethereal floral aromas combine to give an aroma profile that beguiles the senses and demands lengthy contemplation. The palate layers rich wild berry fruits with dark chocolate and a taut minerality, finishing with a blanket of fine tannin and a refreshing streak of bright acidity.

On the nose, vivid bursts of raspberry, red rose petal, dark chocolate, black tea, dried earth and peat smoke dance around a brooding core of black and blue berry fruits, evolving with each swirl of the glass. The density of the nose belies the delicate, light-footed precision of the palate – a crisp bead of acidity punctuating the enveloping silkiness of beautifully ripe tannins.

Red currants, damson plum, raspberry, damp earth and sweet baking spice all work in perfect harmony, slowly fading to shadows on a tantalisingly bright finish.
