Winemaking This Chardonnay is crafted from high-altitude vineyards in Central Otago, where cool nights and long daylight hours preserve vibrant acidity and precise fruit character. Fermented in French oak barrels with partial malolactic fermentation, the wine is textural, balanced, and layered.
Bouquet Bright aromas of lemon peel, white nectarine, and green apple. Subtle hints of flint, almond, and brioche round out the nose with finesse.
Palate Medium-bodied with fresh citrus and stone fruit at its core. A creamy mid-palate leads to a clean, mineral-laced finish with just a whisper of oak spice.
Food Pairing Excellent with roast chicken, salmon, grilled asparagus, or creamy pasta. A versatile white for both fresh and savoury dishes.
Cellaring Enjoy now for its vibrancy or cellar for up to 5 years to allow further richness to emerge.
Interesting Fact Nanny Goat Vineyard’s name was inspired by the terrain of Central Otago—steep, rugged, and only conquerable (according to the founders) by a sure-footed nanny goat.
