Tasting Notes
Aroma
Layered and intriguing on the nose with primary aromas of wild
blackberry, black currant and ripe raspberries. Nuances of toasted baking
spices, forest floor and a subtle floral note are laced throughout adding a
lovely complexity.
Palate
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 palate whilst a sinewy thread of fine-grained tannin
entwines the palate and ushers you towards a pleasantly lingering finish.
Vinification
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 30% 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. Individual parcels of fruit spent between 24 and 32 days on skins
prior to pressing to 225L oak barrels for maturation.
Cellaring Potential
10+ years.
Region Notes
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.

Stephen Wong
Black raspberry, cherry and anise adorn this compact, mid-weight pinot. The tannins are a feature here, building quickly on the palate towards the firm, cocoa finish where a persistent charry grip holds court. The fruit adopts a savoury edge with black olive appearing at the end of a fairly long finish. This will need time in bottle to come together and absorb its notable structure. Points: 91/100

2025 Global Fine Wine Challenge
Raspberry drops, plays the subtlety card but there’s good things going on. Perfume swelling, a backdrop of herb, cherry influences, a touch of toasty char. Real crispness, ‘upright’ driven by the zesty acidity and fine (almost grainy) tannins with fruit richness its equal. Shows its youthful vibrancy, juicy nicely structured, bright piquancy. With food now, or a little time in the cellar.

The Shout
A classic Nanny Goat expression with a core of ripe red and dark berry fruits, including cherry and dried raspberry, complemented by a fine layer of savoury dried herb, soil spice, and barrel spice. Firm and dry, with an abundance of polished tannins and a distinctive character, supported by a backbone of acidity and fruit freshness. Bright, lengthy, varietal, and complex — a wine that can be enjoyed today or cellared, with best drinking from 2027 through to 2035+. Points: 94/100
