FAT bastard Chardonnay, the original FAT bastard wine and one of South Africa’s favourite Chardonnays continues to win hearts and fill glasses.

The recently released FAT bastard Chardonnay 2019 is not only delicious: rich and round, fruit-driven and food-friendly. It is also extremely well priced and a worthy successor to the 2018 vintage which top-scored at Winemag.co.za’s Best Value Chardonnay Tasting last year.

The Story: We all love a story and the Fat bastard Chardonnay certainly has a good story to tell. FAT bastard wines have been well-loved since they were created, almost by accident by Thierry and Guy. When tasting an experimental batch of Chardonnay at the back of the cellar, that had been kept in barrel with yeast sediment longer than usual and had developed a very full-bodied taste, Guy exclaimed in delight amongst a bellyful of laughter, “Well, now that’s a FAT bastard,” perfectly describing the wine’s wonderful colour and round, rich palate.

This tradition of creating full-bodied wines to be enjoyed with bellyfuls of laughs continues today. “Much like a glass of FAT bastard wine, life should be filled to the brim and enjoyed in large, delicious gulps. #LiveLarge”. This is the voice of Mr. b. He’s gold, he’s grand and he lives life at the big end of large! He’s the granddaddy of FAT bastard wines, loving them with great gusto.

The Food: Sipping on a glass of chilled FAT bastard Chardonnay is heavenly but enjoying it with a delectable dish specially created to accompany the wine takes enjoyment to another level. Lose the lockdown blues and #LiveLarge in the comfort of your own home with some full-bodied feasting tips from FAT bastard’s favourite foodie friends:
