Nanny Goat Vineyard is named after the wild goats that roam the mountainous terrain of Central Otago - a region of climactic extremes, with hot summers, short autumns & bitterly cold winters. At our home in Queensberry, our focus is on producing premium Central Otago Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.
The Nanny Goat Vineyard in Queensberry is proud to be accredited both Biogro Organic and Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ). Winemaker Alan Peters-Oswald believes that it is his job to make wines that interpret the beauty, the unique place of origin and the quality of the fruit used; resulting in wines with elegance, concentration and balance whilst allowing each individual parcel of fruit to tell its unique story. Each year, we produce our flagship wine, Super Nanny Pinot Noir to highlight one or two parcels of fruit that stand head and shoulders above the rest in the vineyard.
Our 2021 Cross Breed displays lifted aromas of Rose water and jasmine leaps from the glass, gradually giving way to notes of preserved Apricot and nuances of dried Apple.The palate is fruit forward, with ripe stone fruit giving the illusion of sweetness ahead of a saline core of fine sinewy skin derived tannin. A bead of bright acidity brings focus, drawing the palate to a long lingering finish reminiscent of white peach stone and fennel
