Goat-Roti 2007
“Offers a nice plush texture, with juicy blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors laced with dark toast and fruitcake notes. Stays fresh on the finish. Syrah and Viognier.” James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
Goats do Roam Red 2009
The art of blending creates many of the world’s greatest wines, with only a perfect blend of grape varietals making a wine of true balance.

Goats do Roam Red 2010 ‘Classic label’
One afternoon, at harvest time, my mischievous son Jason and his friend Justin let the goats out of their tower and sent them for a walkabout amongst the vines.

Goat Door Chardonnay 2009
As our goats roamed through the vineyards choosing the fruit for our well known Goats do Roam range of wines, one obstinate member of the flock decided to go his own way.

So delighted was he with the results that he now fiercely protects these vineyards by standing guard at the door! We have, of course, named him Chevre Chardonnay, and these vineyards produce exceptional quality wine, vintage after vintage. (more…)
Goats in Villages Viognier 2009
When Rebecca and Gary Mink moved from the United States to the wilds of the Caprivi in Northern Namibia to care for children orphaned by AIDS, their immense courage and spirit could not fully offset their limited financial resources. They were soon overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem and an urgent appeal was sent for goats.
