Golden Reserve

The Fat Bastard Golden Reserve 2024 pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as juicy steaks, roast lamb, or venison. Its bold structure and rich fruit profile complement the robust flavors of these meats, making it an excellent choice for red meat dishes.

The grapes for this blend are sourced from the Robertson region, known for its diverse terroir and favorable climate conditions. The vineyards benefit from a combination of warm days and cool nights, which contribute to the development of ripe flavors and balanced acidity in the grapes.

The wine is matured in small oak barrels, which impart additional weight and complexity. This oak ageing process enhances the wine's structure and adds subtle nuances of spice and vanilla to the flavor profile

Upon harvest, the grapes undergo gentle pressing to preserve their natural aromas and character. The winemaking process focuses on retaining the fruit's integrity, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and true to its varietal characteristics.

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.
