More Information - Fairview’s Goats Do Roam White Blend
Vibrant light green colour in the glass, with layered aromatics of fresh florals, sweet yellow stone fruit and hint of citrus. Palate is fresh with ripe tropical flavours on, followed by a lengthy fresh acidity and a mineral finish. Will drink best 1-2 years after vintage.
Back Story & Wine Information
The legend goes that some errant members of Fairview’s long-established goat herd once escaped from their paddock into the Fairview vineyards after Charles Back’s young son Jason accidentally left the gate open. The little group happily roamed among the vineyards, showing rare discernment by selecting some of the ripest berries from the vines. Inspired by this tale, we now use these berries in the making of our Goats Do Roam wine. Highly drinkable and superb in quality, the Goats Do Roam range is an intriguing mix of southern French and Italian style blends, rich in complexity and at value-for-money prices.
