GOATS DO ROAM RED 2009

Charles Back, the owner of Fairview, is also the man behind Goats do Roam, which was launched in 1999. Goats do Roam is rare in that it is an amusing and original proposition allied to wines of good quality and value for money.

VINEYARD
Syrah grapes were grown in trellised vineyards in Paarl, on decomposed granite soils.

Cinsault was from two older bush trained vineyards in Paarl and Agter-Paarl.

Mourvèdre fruit came from dry land bush trained vineyards in Swartland on koffieklip soils and the Grenache and Carignan were also from Swartland.

GRAPE VARIETIES
61% Syrah, 14% Cinsault, 13% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache and Carignan

VINIFICATION
The different varieties were destalked but not crushed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel at 25-28°C using selected Rhone yeasts.

Malolactic fermentation took 2-3 months to complete and took place in stainless steel after which the wine was racked into barrel (no new oak was used) where it remained for 10 months.

TASTING NOTE
Deep cherry red in colour, the 2008 is vibrant and youthful on the nose, with perfumes of blackberries and a touch of anise and cedar. On the palate it is fresh and supple, with lively mixed red berry fruit and round,
ripe tannins.
