[SOLD-OUT] Super Nanny Pinot Noir 2016

"The 2016 Super Nanny shows another level of concentration, with lots of spicy, smoky, black-cherry aromas and a powerful, firmly structured palate, which needs more time to reach its best. It delivers plenty of joy now, however."

Huon Hooke, The Real Review

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 2016 Super Nanny Pinot Noir has a complex and seductively aromatic nose, showing ever changing layers of blue and dark berry fruits, savoury spice, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, liquorice and an ethereal floral lift of violet, rose hip and lavender. The palate is rich upon entry, enveloping your senses into a beautifully poised melange of dark berry fruits, dried herbs, black olive and spice. A blanket of fine velvety tannins usher you towards a finish that is both lively and persistent.
