CLOSED {{ WIN A HAMPER}} MEET THE NEW FAT BASTARD IN THE POD
For some reason, dad’s gift is always left to whatever is left at the bottom of the barrel. In keeping with our theme of encouraging moms and kids to spoil dad a little differently this year, we have partnered with FAT bastard wines and have 3 hampers of the brand-new FAT bastard in the POD, the FAT bastard Golden Reserve 2017 Bordeaux-style red blend, Where Bold Meets Gold.
THE GOLDEN RESERVE 2017
The Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot blend was made from specifically selected grapes with the aim to produce ripe-flavoured and silky textured wine.
WINEMAKING – All fruit was gently pressed to retain fruit aromas and character. The wine was aged in small oak barrels to add greater weight and complexity.
TASTING NOTES – The wine has an intense, dark ruby colour. Luxurious aromas and flavours of dark berry fruit and plum entice the senses. The palate of the wine is rich and full, with a silky and lasting finish.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING – Roast lamb, Oxtail, Rib-Eye Steak
RETAIL PRICE – The FAT bastard Golden Reserve 2017 is widely available nationally and retails between R110 – R120
WHY 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. Whether it’s a celebration, a kuier or a “COME ON OVER!“, there’s a FAT bastard (or two) waiting to be opened. “Much like a glass of FAT bastard wine, life should be filled to the brim and enjoyed in large, delicious gulps”. 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 grand-daddy of FAT bastard wines, loving them with great gusto.
FAT bastard Range of Wines
The name might be fun, but the wine is serious. This high quality, fruit-driven, rich and round, food-friendly range of nine wines, with a delightful story behind its name, includes a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Rosé, Merlot, Pinotage, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and the Golden Reserve. The FAT bastard wines are widely available nationally and retail between R75 and R85 (white wines) and between R110 and R120 (red wines).
