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, blended from juicy, full flavoured varietals with a bouquet of red fruit and suble spice. Goats do Roam will bring joy to any occasion.

Fat Bastard Merlot is sourced from select vineyards throughout the Languedoc-Roussillon.  The area is known for its stony soil, which naturally limits yields and lends a fresh, fruit-forward character and mature tannins to the final wine.  

Deep, dark-red in colour with elegant notes of plum and black cherry followed by subtle nuances of caraway and black pepper.  On the palate, it is fresh, full and juicy with solid mad palate weight and an expansive, round finish.

This Merlot truly shines when enjoyed with grilled steaks, sausages and burgers with Havarti cheese.  Ideal for your next barbecue!

The palate is soft, sumptuous, juicy and round with elegant tannins and lots of berry fruit. This wine will compliment food such as a rack of lamb with a mint dressing or even a thickly cut fillet of beef.
