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. Block 13, the bio-organic vineyard in Queensberry, where this Chardonnay grows, is quite the special area, and you can taste it. This wine is an aromatic cocktail of ripe nectarine and vanilla poached apple. The palate is a lush hush of toasty oak and freshly baked pastries. With its long finish, this Chardonnay is begging to be paired with a ceviche, a salmon tartare or gnocchi in a sage brown butter sauce.

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.
Recommended for you:
The aromatic complexity is impressive, with black fruits, spices, and forest floor notes. The structure is perfect, with extremely fine tannins. A great wine to save for a special meal.
