FAIRVIEW (CHARLES BACK) Other Whites 2005  
designation: Goats Do Roam Western Cape
vineyard: N/A
region: South Africa
review date: 2006-12-11

Are you bored with the white wines you have been drinking lately? Have the prices of a good bottle of white brought you down? Well happy days are here again with the Goats do Roam 2005. This wine was a welcoming treat and a pleasure to drink. The blend of Chenin Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Riesling, as well as smaller amounts of Viognier and Grenache Blanc are unusual. I have to admit I might have passed on this wine had the varietal blend been displayed on the label. I am lucky I just drank it without asking too many questions. We should probably do that more often. The results are a wine with wondrous bright peach and melon aromas, crisp, focused, well balanced and a sensual mouth-feel that drinks well on its own and pairs beautifully with a broad spectrum of cuisine (MDME).
