Fat Bastard Chardonnay 2017 (California)

Description

• American & French oak
• Ripe stone fruit
• Spice butterscotch
• Bright acidity

Deep golden yellow colour in the glass. Ripe, fleshy stone fruits with hints of vanilla and honeysuckle and lashings of delicate, buttery sweet almont croissant. No surprises here. This Fat Bastard Chardonnay has an opulent, luscious palate of grilled pineapple and juicy clingstone peach, followed by spiced butterscotch and loads of textural nutty, mealiness. Bright acidity brings length and freshness to the intense fruit characters. Like drinking pure sunshine.

Machine harvested during the cool of the night. Cold and slow fermentation with aromatic yeast to retain freshness in stainless steel. Matured in both American and French oak. Bottled under screwcap to retain freshness.

Food Pairing: Well suited to a variety of seafood and poultry dishes but equally suited to quaffing with something richer, such as grilled pork sausages or a wealthy friend.
