Tasting Notes: 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.

Michael Cooper, 4.5 Stars ****/* The deep ruby 2022 vintage (4.5*) is a fragrant, very generous red, with obvious cellaring potential. Vibrantly fruity, it has strong cherry, plum and spice flavours, gently seasoned with nutty oak, savoury notes adding good complexity, and ripe, supple tannins. Best drinking 2025+
Cameron Douglas MS, 93 Points Fragrant, fruity, varietal and new, scents of fresh red plum and cherry, some heirloom red apple skin, spices from soil and oak layer in complexity and intrigue. A dry wine touches the palate first then flavours of raspberry and cherry then spice push through. Tannins are firm, acidity has a medium+ power adding mouthfeel and with the tannins a youthful tautness. Wood flavours and tannins add their own voice with a palate squeeze reminder. A young wine still and needs some time to settle and develop with best drinking from late 2024 through 2029+.
About Nanny Goat Vineyard: An impromptu trek to a restaurant nestled high above the picturesque town of Queenstown in late 2004 was to provide the inspiration behind 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
