Fairview Goats do Roam White 2002

Colour: Golden straw.
Aroma: Intense peach, lemon grass and ripe grape.
Palate: Aroma carries through onto the palate. Rich fruity mid palate with a soft crisp finish.
This full bodied unwooded wine shows considerable character, combining the flavours and feel of our sun drenched mediteranean climate with the distinctive fruit focused wine style of Fairview.

AWARDS
2002 – 3 ½ stars John Platter Guide
2001 – Seal of Approval at the International Wine Challenge 2002

ageing : Drink within two years of the vintage.
about the harvest: Harvest Date: 2002 February and March
in the cellar : Four separate grape cultivars have been blended to produce this wine. Crouchen Blanc 42%, Clairette Blanc 31%, Grenache Blanc 20% and Muscat Frontignac 7%. This is a totally unique wine in South Africa. We have utilised what is possibly the only Grenache Blanc in South Africa. As the grape is not registered on the official cultivar list in South Africa, we have had to get special permission from the authorities to produce wine from this variety. The grapes were hand harvested fully ripe and whole bunch pressed.
