Chardonnay

This versatile Chardonnay pairs well with seafood, poultry, pork, or can be enjoyed as an aperitif.

The grapes are sourced from the Robertson region in South Africa. All fruit is harvested in the early hours to ensure the grapes remain cool, helping to retain their aroma and flavor.

30% of the wine undergoes oak maturation for 4 months, enhancing its richness and depth.

After harvesting, the juice is pressed while the grapes are still cool to preserve aroma and flavor. The wine is tank-fermented with the addition of quercus fragmentus (oak fragments), which adds greater weight and complexity to the wine.

When Thierry and Guy first created these delicious wines, they did it with gusto. They poured their hearts, souls and great dollops of generosity into every bottle. In fact, it was a great big discovery (in winemaking terms) that led to the name ‘FAT bastard.’´ It comes from having left the wine on the lees for a lot longer than usual, which allowed it to develop more fully and completely. And when tasted, there was simply no other way to describe it other than: “Well, now that’s a FAT bastard!” This tradition of creating full-bodied wines to be enjoyed with bellyfuls of laughs and good-natured cheer continues today. Our winemakers give nothing short of their all when meticulously nurturing them to perfection. Whether it’s a celebration, a kuier or a “COME ON OVER!”, there’s a FAT bastard (or two) waiting to be opened.
