Description

When you speak with winemaker Alan Peters-Oswald, you can tell straight away how connected he is to this place. The Nanny Goat vineyard up in Queensberry, Central Otago, is rugged and dramatic, and that character flows through into the wines. Warm days and cool nights help shape Pinots that are both lively and layered.

The 2024 Pinot really shows that balance. Bright cherry and raspberry come first, then darker fruit, spice and a savoury twist build in behind. The tannins are smooth and fine, with enough freshness to keep it all light on its feet. It feels polished but still very true to the region.

What makes it stand out is the value. You’re getting proper Central Otago Pinot character and complexity, but at a price that doesn’t make you think twice about opening a bottle midweek. Drink it now for its brightness, or hold onto a few and let it evolve.

WINEMAKER COMMENTS

Bright and lively on the nose with vivid aromas of raspberry, blueberry
and red currant fruits immediately evident while nuances of toasted
brown spice, dried earth and subtle herbaceous notes add complexity.
The palate is vibrant up front with a core of juicy fruits suggestive of
wild berries, red cherry and tamarillo. Cola and toasted spices add layers
of interest to the mid whilst a sinewy thread of fine-grained tannin
entwines the palate and ushers you towards a pleasantly lingering finish.

VINEYARD
A regional blend of fruit grown at our own Queensberry and Bendigo Vineyards alongside fruit produced by our growers throughout the Queensberry, Bendigo, Pisa and Bannockburn sub regions of Central
Otago.

WINEMAKING

Fruit was hand-picked and predominantly destemmed into small 4.2T open top fermenters for a brief pre fermentation maceration before ferment was allowed to begin utilising naturally occurring yeast. A small number of ferments contained up to 40% whole bunches where stem ripeness allowed.

Ferments were managed judiciously, with a maximum of two light
plunges daily at the peak of fermentation to avoid over extraction of tannin. Wines spent between 24 and 32 days on skins prior to pressing to 225L oak barrels for maturation.
