2023 Nanny Goat Vineyard Basket Case Pinot Noir is a bold and expressive Pinot Noir from Central Otago, one of New Zealand’s most renowned regions for the variety. Produced by Nanny Goat Vineyard, a boutique winery focused on high-altitude vineyards across the rugged Central Otago landscape, the Basket Case range highlights wines with depth, intensity and personality.
The 2023 vintage shows lifted aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and wild raspberry, layered with notes of thyme, baking spice and subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, concentrated dark berry fruit is balanced by fine tannins and fresh acidity, revealing hints of plum, cocoa and savoury herbs. The finish is long and structured while maintaining the vibrant fruit character typical of Central Otago Pinot Noir.
Rich yet elegant, Basket Case Pinot Noir captures the power and purity that define Central Otago Pinot Noir, offering both immediate appeal and excellent drinkability.
