Kiwi Pinot is a bit like French cheese, it’s a bit of a no-brainer. The climate, soil, and cool temperatures give The Land of The Long Green Cloud a natural affinity for the variety. The Nanny Goat is no exception, everything from its colour (ruby red and purple, as nice to look at as it is to drink) to the lingering flavour profile hints at seriously savvy winemaking. And for the price it’s a fair bargain.

There’s a suggestion of wet green bramble and earth spices on the nose that opens up to a core of red and black fruit, leather, and a subtle floral elements. The tannins have been well integrated here resulting in a soft and supple texture where flavours of dark cherries, red fruit, dried herbs and cocoa are seamlessly blended together.

Drink now, drink later, its up to you.
