The 2025 Nanny Goat Vineyard Crossbreed is a vibrant and textural skin-contact white wine from Central Otago, crafted from a unique blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Riesling. The nose is highly aromatic and expressive, showing apricot, candied ginger, quince and citrus peel layered with white florals, Earl Grey tea and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is dry and beautifully textured with fine tannins, juicy pear and stone fruit flavours balanced by bright acidity and a refreshing saline edge. Hints of orange zest, marmalade and spice carry through to a long, crisp and savoury finish. The style is modern, lively and approachable, offering the intrigue of orange wine while remaining fresh and food-friendly.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to explore skin-contact or “orange” wines without excessive funkiness or heaviness. Perfect with charcuterie, grilled seafood, roast chicken, Asian dishes or Mediterranean sharing plates. Drink now for maximum freshness and texture over the next 3–5 years.
