South African Fairview Goats Do Roam Goat Roti Case 6 Description
Goat-Roti Syrah Viognier Buy wine online from wines to buy online store.
The council of Billy goats convened – bearded and wise elders grumbled. Their position has been challenged by the popularity of Goats do Roam, the exuberant wines created by the frisky and youthful members of the flock. And so an edict was issued – go out into the vineyards; sniff out the finest fruit. Create a wine befitting our status – or risk a roasting. The elders rose to the occasion. Goat-Roti – a wine abundant with rich fruit and warm spices. The elders are well pleased.
HARVEST DATE: February
WINEMAKING:
The Paarl and Swartland Syrah was co-fermented with Viognier, as both varieties were ripe at the same time. The Stellenbosch portion could not be co-fermented, as the grapes ripened two weeks later, and was incorporated into the blend at a later stage. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, and Rhône yeasts were used. Pump-overs were done three times a day ensuring good colour and flavour extraction. Once pressed, the wine was transferred to 225l French and American oak barrels and matured for 15 months, with 10% new wood being used.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS:
When blending Syrah and Viognier it is beneficial to co-ferment the grapes, as opposed to blending the finished wine which generally tends to have a flavour diluting effect. Co-fermented grapes have a positive impact, as the use of Viognier improves colour, softens and elaborates the tannin and gives a slight fragrant lift to the wine. Anthony de Jager
VARIETIES
Syrah 96%

TASTING NOTE:
Sweet oak aromas, with leather and spiciness. Ripe mulberries and herbal fragrances with good follow through of fruit from the nose. Full, ripe finish balanced by good acidity and structured tannin. Will develop further with time in the bottle.
