The 2024 Nanny Goat Vineyard Pinot Noir is a beautifully crafted expression of Central Otago’s alpine terroir, showcasing purity, elegance and vibrant fruit intensity. Sourced from a selection of high-altitude vineyards across the Cromwell Basin and Bannockburn subregions, this vintage continues the Nanny Goat philosophy of producing Pinot Noir with finesse, varietal clarity and a strong sense of place.
The 2024 growing season offered moderate temperatures, excellent diurnal variation and a long ripening window. These conditions produced fruit with vivid aromatics, pristine acidity and fine, supple tannins — qualities that shine through in this lively, expressive wine.
The nose opens with bright aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and cranberry, supported by hints of rose petal, thyme, subtle spice and crushed schist minerality. A touch of forest floor and savoury earthiness adds depth, reflecting the complexity typical of Central Otago Pinot.
On the palate, the 2024 Pinot Noir is medium-bodied, silky and wonderfully balanced. Fresh red berry fruits glide across a smooth, refined structure, framed by polished tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Layers of spice, subtle oak, dried herbs and savoury nuance build towards a long, graceful finish marked by clarity and freshness.
Approachable on release yet capable of developing further complexity over the next decade, this is a quintessential Nanny Goat Pinot Noir — pure, expressive and crafted with a focus on elegance and drinkability.
