Wine with Leslie Williams

Following South Africa’s deserved Rugby World Cup victory I felt it was about time that I featured some of their wines. The first SA wines imported here in the ’90’s (after the boycott) struggled to compete with offerings from Australia and Chile but improvement came in leaps and bounds.

One wine we all fell for in the late 90’s was Fairview’s Goats do Roam (GdR), stocked by O’Briens. Others from Fairview Estate are stocked by Baggot St Wines, Sweeney’s and www.wineonline.ie but sadly not the sister wines of GdR - Goat Rôtie and Bored Doe.
