[SOLD-OUT] Super Nanny Pinot Noir 2015

WINNER: People's Choice - Pinot Palooza!  

WINNER: Best New Zealand Wine 2016!  

WINNER: Best Pinot Noir 2016!  

CATHAY PACIFIC HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL WINE & SPIRITS COMPETITION

 

"This Pinot Noir From Central Otago has swooped the pool at the Hong Kong Wine and Spirits Competition, taking out the top honour of New Zealand's Best Wine as well as winning its varietal category. This follows it picking up the People's Choice Award at the annual Pinot Palooza battle too. At under $50 per bottle too, it's an indulgence which won't break the bank. This deserves the attention. The fruit comes from the best parcels and the wine is made with the utmost attention to detail and minimal intervention. It sees up to 30% whole bunch fermentation, with individual batches left on skins with gentle maceration for an additional two weeks to enhance tannin structure before gentle pressing. It is a wine of exceptional concentration and purity. It's long, structured, textural palate carries an array of berried fruit, with savoury characters of spice, chocolate and pretty floral notes all present."

"Two select parcels of fruit were handpicked then hand sorted upon arrival at the winery before being de-stemmed and transferred by gravity to small open top fermenters - 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 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 settled for 48 hours prior to being run to 225L barrels (40% New) to complete a natural Malolactic fermentation.

 

The 2015 Super Nanny Pinot Noir has a complex and seductive nose, showing ever changing layers of Black Doris plums, bramble, sweet baking spice, dark chocolate, coffee, liqourice and an ethereal floral lift. The palate is rich upon entry, flowing on to a beautifully poised platform of dark berry fruits, dried herbs, forest floor and spice before a blanket of fine velverty tannins usher you towards a bright and persistent finish."
