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.

Sourced from hand-harvested fruit in the acclaimed Stellenbosch region, this classic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot was cask matured for 20 months.  

Plum, dark berry and cigar box aromas prelude a multi-layered palate with elegant tannins.  This wine will reward decanting before serving in its youth or patient cellaring under ideal conditions.

This wine commemorates the custodian who lovingly revitalised the farm during his ownership.

Overgaauw is a wine estate of distinction situated on south facing slopes overlooking the Stellenbosch Valley. Deep granite soils and cool sea breezes enable the ideal cultivation of noble grape varieties. The resultant wines are nurtured to perfection by the inherited passion and experience of four generations of Van Velden Winemakers.
