Nanny Goat Vineyard is named after the wild goats that roam the mountainous terrain of Central Otago. Nestled within a timeless and sensual landscape, Nanny Goat Estate Vineyard sits between 270m and 290m above sea level spread across two ancient, North East facing terraces.

A regional blend of fruit grown at our Queensberry Vineyard alongside fruit produced by our growers throughout the Queensberry, Bendigo, Pisa, Bannockburn and Gibbston sub regions of Central Otago.

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.

A classic Nanny Goat expression with a core of ripe red and dark berry fruits, including cherry and dried raspberry, complemented by a fine layer of savoury dried herb, soil spice, and barrel spice. Firm and dry, with an abundance of polished tannins and a distinctive character, supported by a backbone of acidity and fruit freshness. Bright, lengthy, varietal, and complex — a wine that can be enjoyed today or cellared, with best drinking from 2027 through to 2035+. Date: Apr 2025; Rating: 94 Points; The Shout
