2017 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 4 years. Unfortunately, a much smaller 2017 vintage means this will disappear before you know it.
If you crave a rich, buttery, well rounded style of Chardonnay this offers unbeatable value.
Bright straw colour with a watery hue. Ripe peach, apricot and honeycomb scents sail out of the glass followed by notions of butterscotch, subtle bacon fat, nougat and spice. The full bodied palate is awash with rich, succulent peach and apricot fruits which have a creamy like textural feel. Elements of honeycomb, butterscotch, light toast and spicy nougat add interest. Excellent concentration and depth finishing long and well rounded.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 13.5%
