2016 Fat Bastard Chardonnay
The Fat Bastard brings welcome relief to those looking for a bigger, fuller style of Chardonnay amidst the current market trend of lighter, fresher and more elegant styles. Filling a gap in the market and delivering incredible value for money has made this our best selling Chardonnay over the last 3 years.
This rich, buttery textured Chardonnay’s runaway success can be attributed to its unbeatable value and consistent quality year after year.
Bright straw colour with pale gold tinged edges and a watery hue. On the nose pronounced ripe peach and apricot scents laced with honeycomb are followed by light butterscotch, toasty oak and spice notes. Full and rounded, a creamy textural feel is complimented by rich mouthfilling flavours of ripe peaches and apricots which sit over a backdrop of honeycomb, roasted almonds and spicy butterscotch elements. Finishes dry with sufficient acidity for short term drinking. Excellent depth with a long ripe peach, honeycomb, butterscotch, toasty oak and spice aftertaste. California styled Chardonnay on a budget.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 14%
