Alan peters-oswald - winemaker

Growing up in Roxburgh, just out of Central Otago means Alan is no stranger to this unique terrior. Moving away from Central Otago at the age of 10 did not extinguish his passion for the region, and after gaining an interest in horticulture during his high school years, his curiosity in viticulture was sparked by the blooming vineyard plantings in Central Otago. This curiosity of viticulture led him to Marlborough where he gained a Diploma in Viticulture and Wine Production – and above all, a passion for wine.

A Story of Passion and Nature

Located in a privileged terroir, the estate benefits from ideal conditions for growing vines, combining rich soil, favorable climate and respect for the surrounding biodiversity. Each plot is carefully cultivated, favoring methods that respect the environment and aim to preserve the natural balance of ecosystems.

One of the particularities of Domaine Nanny Goat is its commitment to sustainable viticulture. Here, the vines are cultivated in harmony with nature, avoiding chemicals and favoring organic and biodynamic practices.

The Terroir and the Vineyards

Domaine Nanny Goat, nestled in the Central Otago region of New Zealand, draws its identity from an exceptional terroir and vineyards cultivated with passion. This territory is marked by diverse soils composed of shale, clay and gravel, which provide excellent drainage and allow the vines to develop deep roots. This unique soil, combined with a continental climate with marked contrasts – hot summers, cool nights and harsh winters – promotes optimal ripening of the grapes while preserving their freshness and acidity. The altitude and exposure of the plots add an additional dimension, offering a range of microclimates which allow a varied expression of the grape varieties.

The estate's vineyards are mainly dedicated to Pinot Noir, a true emblem of Central Otago, and Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir reveals intense aromas of red fruits, delicate floral notes and a refined tannin structure, while the Chardonnay seduces with its minerality, its notes of citrus and white fruits, often enhanced by aging in barrels. Other grape varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Gris also enrich the estate's offering, reflecting the diversity of the terroir.

Guided by sustainable viticultural practices, the estate is committed to organic and biodynamic agriculture, thereby strengthening biodiversity and soil health. The harvest, carried out by hand, guarantees a rigorous selection of grapes, and precise management of yields ensures concentrated and authentic wines. Each bottle is a true ode to the terroir, embodying the balance between nature and know-how.

Domaine Nanny Goat is distinguished by wines that capture the essence of its exceptional terroir. Whether elegant reds or whites of great purity, each vintage tells a story of harmony between the land, the climate and the hand of the winemaker, offering a unique experience to wine lovers around the world.
