Winemaker Notes
Deep vibrant pink. On the palate, juicy ripe fruit. Aromas of ripe summer berries. The different varietals were harvested ripe and crushed. The juice was drawn off the red grapes; mostly Shiraz, Pinotage, Cinsaut, Grenache, Gamay and Merlot.

Tasting
The grapes are vinified in Fairview’s cellar in Paarl by Charles Back and resident winemaker Anthony de Jager, also responsible for the Fairview range. For all the light-hearted sense of fun evident in the labelling and branding of the Goats do Roam range, the wines themselves take a serious approach to quality. The style is modern, fruit-rich, with intelligent use of wood for either fermentation and/or maturation in small French and American oak barrels. The range is predominantly red, complemented by selected whites and a rosé and covering tastes from those that call for a wine with complexity and cellaring potential to those that require early drinking.
