Fat Bastard Pinot Noir 2023 13.5% 750ml

This full-bodied pinot delivers on its name. Delicate aromas featuring black and red fruit with hints of orange chocolate, ramp up to a full flavoursome pinot noir, with lashings of dark cherry and stewed rhubarb notes. Good balancing acidity, tannin and palate persistence round out this French gem. Enjoy with the quintessential pinot partner, barbecued duck breast with quince paste jus.

The summer was not without its difficulties: the heatwave provided a spike in sugar levels and the low rainfall called for fruit intensity. The mistral slightly assisted with temperatures leading to earlier than normal picking. Rich and vibrant fruit resulted.

Fat Bastard sources fruit from the best regions around the world, allowing us to produce a range of full bodied wines. We are focused on the wines being distinctive, showing classic features of warm vintages and excellent balance of fruit acid and tannin. Dinner will never be dull again with a Fat Bastard at the table…
