It was Picasso who boasted that mediocre artists borrow while great artists steal and the same can be said of winemakers. Take the hundred year old goat tower at Quinta da Aveleda in the Vinho Verde appellation of Portugal, for example. No prizes for identifying the Paarl winemaker who has taken the goat idea (and tower) and turned them into an international brand. But what a pity that the style of fresh, low alcohol winemaking at Aveleda was not embraced by the Paarl pioneer at the same time. As they say at Aveleda “Charamba!”
