Description

Fat bastard wines is a collaboration between Thierry, a renowned winemaker who had crafted wines from California to France and Guy Anderson a rebel in the wine industry believing that quality was paramount in a wine but that the average consumer hated the traditional intimidation heaped on them by most of the wine industry. The two had collaborated before but this brand was born after trying an experimental wine that Thierry had, where he exclaimed it to be a 'Fat Bastard'!

In this selection case we offer you two wines from Thierry and Guy’s wonderful experiment and encourage you to make some great memories of your own...

3 x Fat Bastard Chardonnay 2015

California fruit fermented in stainless-steel to 2.7 g/L RS, then aged with American and French oak contact.

Food Pairing: Well suited to a variety of seafood and poultry dishes and can even handle something richer such as thick and hearty grilled pork sausages.

Alc: 13.5% - Seal: Screw Cap

3x Fat Bastard Pinot Noir 2015 

Awarded 86/100 Points: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2017

Awarded 17/20 Points: Raymond Chan, Mar 2017

"Soft, up-front aromas of dark-red berry fruits entwine with nuances of dark herbs and peppery elements, unfolding raspberry liqueur elements. Medium-full bodied, the palate possesses rich, juicy flavours of dark-red berries and dark cherries intermingling with dark herbs and subtle peppery and raspberry nuances. This is a juicy, red berry fruited Pinot Noir, supported by fine, grained, supple tannins" Raymond Chan

"Gently weighted and rounded, displaying elegant fruit intensity backed by fine, delicately drying tannins. Ideally suited to partner slow-cooked dishes. At its best: now to 2018" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Sourced from select vineyards amidst the foothills of the Massif Central near the beautiful communes of Pézenas and Narbonne, FAT bastard Pinot Noir is a brilliant expression of the land from which it is made.

Food Pairing: Well suited to a variety of light game dishes such as Roast guinea fowl or with sautéed chicken liver as a starter.

Alc: 13.3% - Seal: Screw Cap
