Description
Discover the enchanting world of the Goats do Roam Red 2022, a captivating dry red wine that embodies the spirit of South Africa's Western Cape. This exquisite blend is crafted from a harmonious array of traditional Rhône varietals, primarily consisting of 54% Shiraz, 16% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre, all sourced from meticulously tended vineyards in the renowned regions of Paarl, Darling, Stellenbosch, and Swartland. With an ABV of 13.5%, it promises a rich, vibrant experience that is both approachable and versatile.
Highlighted by the 2022 vintage, this wine thrives on a mild growing season, allowing the grapes to reach unparalleled maturity and complexity. The meticulous winemaking process includes:
- Separate fermentation of each varietal in stainless-steel tanks
- Inoculation with Rhône yeasts to enhance character
- Regular pump-overs during fermentation for improved tannic structure
- Racking post-fermentation and maturation in tanks and barrels prior to blending
On the nose, the Goats do Roam Red reveals an inviting harmony of blackberry compote, ripe plums, and fresh red berries, accented by warm baking spices and a touch of smoky nuance. As you take a sip, the smooth, medium-bodied palate unfolds with:
- Juicy red berry and plum flavors
- Delicate layers of cinnamon and pepper spice
- Silky yet firm tannins that provide structure and balance
The finish is equally charming, with a vibrant echo of red berries and plum, intertwined with a lasting warmth that invites you to savor every drop.
For the ultimate enjoyment, consider these serving suggestions:
- Serve slightly chilled at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to enhance its refreshing fruity vibrancy.
- Present in a large, balloon-shaped glass to promote gentle aeration, garnished with a thin orange peel twist.
- Pair with spiced Middle Eastern lamb koftas, grilled eggplant, or smoky barbecue dishes to complement the wine's depth.
- Create a light spritzer by mixing the wine with sparkling water and pomegranate juice, served over ice with fresh mint.
- Use as a poaching liquid for summer fruits like plums, serving warm over panna cotta for a delicious dessert.
- Whisk into a rosemary-balsamic vinaigrette to dress salads and elevate flavors.
- Enjoy with a charcuterie board that includes aged Gouda, olives, and fig jam to reflect the wine's savory layers.
Consistent storage conditions are vital for maintaining this wine's integrity—aim for a temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C), avoiding exposure to sunlight and ensuring bottles are stored horizontally. For opened bottles, refrigeration is recommended to slow oxidation.
Unlock the joyous experience of the Goats do Roam Red 2022, where each sip transports you to the sun-soaked vineyards of South Africa.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine maintain a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) with lighter reds closer to 55-60°F and fuller-bodied reds up to 65°F being ideal. Avoid temperatures above 70°F to prevent premature aging and flavor degradation.
Store the wine in a dark environment away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as light exposure can heat the bottle unevenly and deteriorate the wine.
Keep bottles on their side to ensure the cork remains moist which prevents air from entering and oxidizing the wine. This applies predominantly to cork-sealed bottles.
Maintain humidity levels around 70% to keep corks from drying out which helps avoid oxidation and spoilage.
For unopened bottles keep these conditions stable in a wine cellar wine fridge or any cool dark storage area free from vibration or temperature fluctuations.
For opened bottles it is best to refrigerate them to slow oxidation caused by air exposure even though this lowers the serving temperature. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes prior to serving to reach optimal drinking temperature.
Seal opened bottles with a proper wine stopper or vacuum seal to further reduce oxidation and extend shelf life. Avoid storing opened red wine at room temperature for extended periods.
Avoid frequent temperature fluctuations and vibrations as they negatively affect the wine’s maturation and flavor profile.
