94/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
The 2024 Bendigo Syrah from Nanny Goat is a compelling example of how well this variety performs in Central Otago’s warm, mineral-rich terraces. This is a concentrated, finely structured wine that speaks clearly of its Bendigo origin.
Dark berry fruit leads the aromatics, backed by subtle florals and a measured line of pepper and spice. The palate is generously weighted without being heavy, delivering depth, balance, and a clean, confident finish. Tannins are refined and supportive, giving the wine presence now with the potential to age gracefully.
This is precise, modern Syrah from a producer who consistently delivers quality. Strong buying for Central Otago enthusiasts and Syrah fans alike.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A complex bouquet with scents of Bendigo and Central Otago, a concentration of fruit and varietal signatures of wild raspberry and cherry, a layer of sweet black currant the dried herb and wood spices. There’s a youthful reductive quality adding complexity to a youthful taut mouthfeel with compromising the core fruits and storyline. Dry, vibrant and young, a wine to watch and cellar for a time. Best drinking from 2027 through 2033."
The winery writes "Lifted and dense yet elegantly perfumed nose where floral notes of violet mingle with black and blue berry fruits, warm spices and savoury herbs. The palate is fine boned, showing an abundance of dark berry fruits with hints of Szechuan pepper. Powder fine tannins coat the mouth lending a creaminess to the mid palate, while a mouth watering streak of acidity pulls the palate towards an elegant finish."
