Our goats do roam at Fairview! From their famous tower next to our tasting room and the Goatshed Restaurant, they have a view over the surrounding vineyards and the magnificent Paarl Valley. These curious and mischievous animals not only provide joy to us and our visitors, but also produce high quality milk for our award-winning cheeses. Occasionally they jump the paddock and stray into the vineyards, sampling delicious bunches of grapes... just like our winemaking team who are constantly sampling from the vineyards of the Cape, in search of those special grapes for this full-flavoured blend.

This blend predominantly is made from the traditional Rhône varieties Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault produced from our own vineyards. The Shiraz was harvested from trellised vineyards in the Paarl, Darling and Swartland regions. The Mourvèdre is from Paarl and Stellenbosch regions. The juicy Grenache noir and Cinsault is from the Paarl. All grown on decomposed granite soils from our vineyards.  All grapes are produced 100% Fairtrade.

The Goats Do Roam 2023 is a Rhône blend which shows aromas of fresh juicy red cherries, wild berries, spices, and plums. It has a youthful palate with layered generous berry fruit and spices which is balanced with integrated oak nuances. The palate is smooth with fine tannin and a long fresh finish for drinking pleasure. This wine is a dream with rich, Mediterranean-style food. Perfect with dishes like Sirloin strip roast with Roquefort mushrooms and braised lamb.

Blend: 73% Shiraz, 12% Mourvèdre, 11% Grenache, 4% Cinsault
