Goats in new coats
The Goat icon has been redesigned and is inspired by an ancient Mesopotamian image, including a coat of various shades.
Bored Doe 2008
Madame Chevre, an udderley gorgeous doe, bored but mischievous, serenely looks out over her neatly manicured vineyards. She reluctantly conforms to legislation and tradition, and only utilizes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in her seductive blend. This she does vintage after vintage. Bored with tradition and legislation, she now uses her charm and seductive wines to add spice to her life. Beware, you are about to become her latest conquest! (more…)
Goat-Roti Syrah Viognier 2008
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.

Goat-Roti – a wine abundant with rich fruit and warm spices. The elders are well pleased. (more…)

Goats do Roam Red 2007 ‘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. 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 our inspiration for this wine.

Goats do Roam Rosé 2008
We have long recognised the potential our country has to produce an excellent Rosé. As Fairview goats have an uncanny knack of finding the tastiest fruit, we set the friskiest of our flock to roam the vineyards in order to select grapes for this vibrant dry Rosé. Discerning as ever, our goats selected the best varieties to produce full flavoured Rosé, packed with summer fruit. (more…)
