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.

Roodeberg is South Africa's most celebrated red blend, recognized worldwide for its consistent quality for more than 50 years. Literally translated as "red mountain", it is named after the red hue of South Africa's Boland Mountains at sunset. Produced in Paarl, in the heart of the Cape Winelands, Roodeberg is a timeless Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. Ripe berries on the nose, with hints of cinnamon spice and green pepper. Complex and well-structured on the palate, with firm tannins and blackberry and chocolate notes.

Heavy savoury oak aromas combined with pencil shavings and hints of dark fruits, plum and cassis. This wine shows great structure and balance. Initial Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics are followed up with a spicy finish from the Shiraz. With great tannin structure and a strong backbone this wine has excellent ageing potential.
