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.
Wine Makers Tasting Notes: When blending Shiraz and Viognier it is essential to co-ferment the grapes, as opposed to blending the finished wine which generally tends to have a 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.Colour: Vibrant deep redAroma: Bramble fruit with subtle oak aromasPalate: Full and complex, showing richness of fruit. Wood is evident, but integrates well with dense fleshy fruit flavours. Firm, well evolved tannins lead to a long full finish.Cellaring: Drink now to 2012 Wine Analysis: Alcohol 15.19% RS 2.4 g/l Acidity 5.8 g/l pH 3.18
