“If I may be so bold,” is a phrase that doesn’t seem to fit in the FAT bastard lexicon. To understand what we mean, take a healthy gulp of the FAT bastard Cabernet Sauvignon. It is made from carefully selected grapes with the aim of producing a wine with pure fruit character. All fruit is hand harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed to retain aroma and flavour. The wine is aged in small oak barrels, which adds greater weight and complexity. Its unapologetically intense aromas of blackcurrant and brambly wild fruit lead promisingly to rich flavours of ripe cassis and chocolate with a hint of earthiness. Balanced tannins and acidity ensure a well-defined structure and elegant finish. FAT, unadulterated joy in a bottle!
