Fat Bastard
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.
Description
This Chardonnay exhibits a characteristic pale green and gold hue, presenting as a medium-bodied, approachable wine. Expressive tropical fruit aromas intermingle with rich buttery notes and undertones of vanilla. The palate carries the delicately spiced quality of vanilla, complemented by fragrant notes of acacia flower, adding complexity. The finish is bright and crisp, concluding with an uplifting citrus note.
Food Pairing
This versatile Chardonnay pairs well with seafood, poultry, pork, or can be enjoyed as an aperitif.
