DESCRIPTION
Nanny Goat Vineyard is the brainchild (or vinechild, if you will) of winemaker Alan Peters-Oswald, the Pinot Noir specialist. The name hails from the wild goats that roam the mountainous region of Central Otago, which is the most southerly wine region in the world and on New Zealand’s South Island. Queensberry, the vineyard where this Pinot grows, is quite the special area, and you can taste it. This brooding bevvy is brimming with mixed berries. Floral perfumes of rose and violet are delicately added to the mix, along with toasted brown spice, dried herbs and black plum. This Pinot Noir is an extraordinary balancing act of acidity, tannins and fruitiness. The perfect partner in crime for a roasted rack of lamb served with thyme and salsa verde.

Central Otago
New Zealand
Central Otago, in the heart of New Zealand's South Island, competes for the title of southernmost wine region in the world. Between snowy mountains, sparkling rivers and sheltered valleys, its spectacular vineyards cling to the slopes as if suspended in a natural amphitheatre.
Here Pinot Noir reigns supreme, covering nearly three quarters of the vineyard. It shows a sunny, precise style, with intense aromas of dark plum, sweet spice and bramble, and a depth of colour and structure that bring it close to the great terroirs of Burgundy. Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris complete the picture, bringing freshness and elegance to this extraordinary region.
