Nanny Goat Vineyard is named after the wild goats that roam the mountainous terrain of Central Otago.

It seemed to be a fair reflection of our determination to succeed, adapt and thrive in the rugged and often extreme climates of Central Otago – much like the nimble and sure footed wild goats of the region have done before us.

From our inception and the inaugural release of our Pinot Noir in 2005, Nanny Goat Vineyard has strived to produce wines with elegance, concentration and balance while allowing each individual parcel of fruit to tell its own unique story.

Pinot Noir is a fickle varietal that demands the utmost attention, both in the vineyard and in the winery to bring its true potential to the fore. We call it the pursuit of magic.

Winemaker Alan Peters Oswald believes it is his job to make wines that interpret the beauty and boldly contrasting origins of the fruit. Wines that speak for themselves and are not veiled by excessive winemaking intervention.
