Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2022

Nanny Goat is a Central Otago winery specialising in Pinot Noir. Its name derives from the fact that much of the country is rough, dry, mountainous and desolate – seemingly suitable only for goats. Apparently, the brand’s owner, Aussie John Valmorbida, was climbing up to a hilltop restaurant near Queenstown when the goat idea struck him. It is rather appropriate.

A true expression of the unique terroir Central Otago, which produces wines of extraordinary intensity and distinction. Each vintage, winemaker Alan Peters-Oswald crafts these wines from our vineyard in Queensberry and from our long-term partnering vineyards; Vela Vineyard, Legend Terrace Vineyard and Tankersley Vineyard. Each site shares a similar viticultural philosophy, resulting in wines with elegance, concentration and balance whilst allowing each individual parcel of fruit to tell its unique story.

A beautifully perfumed nose packed with wild red and black berry fruits, toasted brown cooking spices and lifted floral notes, layered over a subtle earthy background. The palate is juicy and lively up front, brimming with red cherry, plum, lightly roasted coffee beans and just a hint of sweet baking spice. A streak of fine acidity brightens the mid palate, blending seamlessly with fine powdery tannins to lift the palate towards a satisfying elegant finish.
