Goats do Roam White 2014

Light bright green colour in the glass, medium bodied wine with aromas of apricots, pear and white blossom on the nose. Lingering citrus on the palate with a zesty acidity.

Winemaker's Comments: 2014 was a great year for our Roussanne. This varietal provides fragrant, fresh and fruity in the blend components. The winemaking team simple couldn’t resist adding more Roussanne to the final blend, than in previous years.

Established in 1693, Fairview cellar with its spectacular view of Table Mountain lies on the south western slopes of Paarl at the Cape of Good Hope. Fairview was purchased by my grandfather in 1937 and I am the third generation of my family to make wine here. We have vineyards in the leading coastal grape producing areas, where geographic and climatic diversity allows us to craft a range of truly distinctive wines, complemented by Fairview’s range of award winning artisanal cheeses.
