Nanny Goat Single Vineyard Queensberry Chardonnay 2023 from Central Otago’s Queensberry sub‑region is a seriously impressive, single‑site Kiwi chardonnay – organically farmed, high‑altitude fruit delivering both alpine freshness and luxurious, barrel‑fermented richness in the glass. This Nanny Goat Queensberry Chardonnay 2023 is unapologetically plush yet finely structured.

Aromatically it’s instantly appealing – orange zest, grilled peach, poached nectarine and tangerine wrapped in hazelnut, sweet baking spice, jasmine and a wet‑river‑stone minerality. The palate is layered and mouth‑filling with stone fruit, spiced apple, butterscotch, vanilla, toasty gunflint notes and a long, lemon‑laced, mineral finish carried by vibrant acidity.

This style cries out for rich food – roast chook with crispy skin, buttery crayfish or lobster, seared scallops, creamy seafood pasta and mushroom or truffle risotto all work a treat. It will also shine with pork belly and washed‑rind cheeses, making Nanny Goat Single Vineyard Queensberry Chardonnay 2023 a knockout option for indulgent long lunches.
