John Ellis would take every opportune weekend away from his regular New York Paris route, to pursue a passion for viticulture.

Nanny Goat Vineyard Pinot Noir CONFIRM VINTAGE

Pinot Noir Central Otago New Zealand
The precious Pinot yielding Nanny Goat vines are planted to haggard aspects along Central Otago's austere valley floor. This is a region of climatic extremes, very hot summers, short autumns and bitterly cold days throughout the winter. Soils are rocky and offer poor fertility, growing conditions which are heaven sent for making world class Pinot Noir. The inhospitable climes deliver a harvest of the smallest berries, bursting with flavours, concentrated with intense varietal characters, endowed with stalky tannins and fruit laden acids.
