The 2023 Nanny Goat Vineyard Super Nanny Pinot Noir is an exceptional, small-batch release that captures the pure alpine elegance and dramatic intensity of Central Otago Pinot Noir. Sourced from the estateās highest and most meticulously farmed parcels, Super Nanny represents the pinnacle of the Nanny Goat range ā crafted only in vintages that deliver fruit of outstanding concentration, structure and aromatic precision.
The 2023 growing season in Central Otago was marked by a cool, steady ripening phase with excellent diurnal variation, allowing flavours to develop slowly while maintaining superb acidity. These ideal conditions produced Pinot Noir of exceptional purity, fine tannin structure and lifted aromatics ā traits that define this vintage.
The nose is deep and expressive, offering aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, cranberry and redcurrant. Notes of rose petal, violet, thyme, forest floor and subtle smoky spice add complexity. A faint mineral edge reflects the schist-driven soils of the region.
On the palate, the 2023 Super Nanny Pinot Noir is poised, textural and powerful in its elegance. Layers of red and dark berry fruits unfold across a silky, finely structured frame. Tannins are ultra-fine yet assertive, delivering length and drive. Subtle French oak influence contributes nuances of clove, cinnamon, cacao and toasted spice without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. A vibrant line of acidity keeps the wine energetic, leading to a long, refined and lightly savoury finish.
Built for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring, this vintage showcases the sophistication and precision that have made Super Nanny a standout among New Zealandās premium Pinot Noirs.
