Tasting Notes: A wine of contrasting elements – equal measures of dark seductive plum fruit and lifted ethereal floral aromas combine to give an aroma profile that beguiles the senses and demands lengthy contemplation. The palate layers rich wild berry fruits with dark chocolate and a taut minerality, finishing with a blanket of fine tannin and a refreshing streak of bright acidity.
REVIEWS:
Decanter World Wine Awards, 2023, 95 Points, GOLD A purity of pressed flowers, dark berries and plums with a soft, creamy texture and a warmth of baking spice oak. Deliciously lifted and fresh.
Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, 4 October 2023, 95 Points An elegant rather than blockbuster pinot noir with a mix of floral/rose petal, dark cherry, roasted chestnut and subtle spicy flavours. It all adds up to a flavoursome and quite complex wine that I couldn't drink without feeling pangs of guilt because I really should have waited for a few years .
About Nanny Goat Vineyard: An impromptu trek to a restaurant nestled high above the picturesque town of Queenstown in late 2004 was to inspire the name Nanny Goat Vineyard. Heading off to take in some breath-taking scenery, good food and of course some great Central Otago Pinot Noir, what was supposed to be a relaxing stroll quickly transformed into an arduous, unplanned deviation as the gentle terrain quickly transformed, leaving all concerned to navigate some rather perilous ground. A lighthearted comment likening the group to a herd of Nanny Goats struck a chord and would go on to become the inspiration behind the name. Central Otago, New Zealand
