Super Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2021
DESCRIPTION
Nanny Goat Vineyard is the brainchild (or vinechild, if you will) of winemaker Alan Peters-Oswald, the Pinot Noir specialist. The name hails from the wild goats that roam the mountainous region of Central Otago, which is the most southerly wine region in the world and on New Zealand’s South Island. To the vintage, go the spoils. Each growing season, there are one or two parcels that outshine the others. The Super Nanny Pinot Noir is harvested among the best plots in the Nanny Goat Vineyard and selected partner vineyards. This wine is an exercise in comparing and contrasting. It is equal parts dark plum and light, ethereal floral notes. The palate is brimming with wild berries and dark chocolate and layered by a tight and tucked minerality in a blanket of fine tannins. With its refreshing acidic punch, this wine pairs nicely with duck or seared hare…and anything mushroom, really.

Central Otago
New Zealand
Central Otago, in the heart of New Zealand’s South Island, vies for the title of the world’s southernmost wine region. Between snow-capped mountains, sparkling rivers, and sheltered valleys, its spectacular vineyards cling to the hillsides as if suspended in a natural amphitheater.
Here, Pinot Noir reigns supreme, covering nearly three-quarters of the vineyard area. It expresses itself in a radiant, precise style, with intense aromas of doris plum, sweet spices, and bramble, with depth of color and structure that place it alongside Burgundy’s greatest terroirs. Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Gris complete the picture, bringing freshness and elegance to this extraordinary region.
