Goat-Roti 2022

The Goat-Roti 2022 blends Shiraz and a touch of Viognier from Swartland, Darling and Paarl vineyards. Dryland Swartland fruit brings depth, the cooler Darling site adds freshness, and Paarl provides ripeness and perfume a mix that suits the Rhône-inspired style perfectly.

The team picked all vineyards in late February 2022. The Paarl Shiraz was co-fermented with Viognier, while the Darling and Swartland components fermented separately. Fermentation took place in French oak foudres and stainless-steel tanks, with pump-overs up to three times a day to extract strong colour and flavour. After pressing, the wine matured for 18 months in French and American oak, including 20% new barrels.

Goat-Roti 2022 is rich, dark and expressive. Red fruit, violets, black pepper and cinnamon shape the wine’s layered character. Juicy tannins create a long, satisfying finish. It stands proudly within the playful Goats do roam family and remains a bold, flavour-packed choice from one of the most dynamic wine farms South Africa. Enjoy it during relaxed wine tasting Paarl moments or pair it with your favourite hearty dishes at home. A fun yet serious Rhône-style blend that fits beautifully within the fairview wines philosophy.
