Nanny Goat Vineyard Single Vineyard 'Queensberry' Pinot Noir 2022

Typical of Queensberry Pinot Noir, the nose is dark and brooding yet beautifully perfumed with concentrated black and blue berry fruits layered amongst aromas suggestive of exotic spices and dried flowers. The palate is taut and powerful with an abundance of ripe black plum, wild berry fruits and discreetly layered oak. Powdery fine tannins coat the mouth, contributing to a sinewy elegant core balanced beautifully by a fine streak of acidity which offers a lively backdrop to the abundant berry fruits. This is a wine that is both powerful and dense yet beautifully light on its feet.

After a brief period of settling post press, the wine was racked to 225L French oak barriques (29% new) where it underwent natural MLF and matured for a total of 10 months before being prepared for bottling in March 2023.
