Description : 

Goats do Roam White, South African white wine blend ‘Classic Label’. One afternoon, at harvest time, the winemakers mischievous son Jason and his friend Justin let the goats out of their tower and sent them for a walkabout amongst the vines. As in the legend of the Yemeni goat herder, whose roaming flock first discovered the joys of coffee beans, our goats picked out the best and tastiest fruit. Their choice serves as his inspiration for this wine.  Fine example of South African white wine .
