Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2024

94 Pts The Shout '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+'.

Nanny Goat Vineyard is named after the wild goats that roam the mountainous terrain of Central Otago. Both the name and vineyard came about in 2004, and within a year the first vintage of Pinot Noir was released. Along with Pinot Noir, their vineyards located in Pisa, Bannockburn and Queensberry, also produce premium Chardonnay and Syrah.
