Description

Californian Chardonnay can be rich, opulent and very expensive. And then we have the Fat Bastard Chardonnay, which is rich, opulent and very cheap.

The grapes come from the scenic Monterrey region in California, down the coast from San Francisco. It's an area that makes powerful, tropical Chardonnays, but rarely so inexpensive. Look for peaches and nectarines, burnt butter aromas and a rich, cream and butterscotch palate.

Aged in French and American oak, backed up by some nice load-bearing acidity, this is great honest-to-goodness Full Bodied Chardonnay drinking. Get in my belly.

    Great value

    This is a classic buttery chardy. Great for the price, and satisfies the craving for a buttery, creamy chardy.

    Very good despite the name

    Great full bodied Chardonnay from California at a surprisingly low price. My go to Chardonnay 👌

Just like they used to make 'em. Our Fat Bastard Chardonnay has an opulent, rich palate of grilled pineapple, spiced butterscotch and loaded with peach and apricot. Filled with macadamia and almond meal notes, bright acidity bringing liveliness and freshness. Full bodied goodness.

The Golden States climate is the secret to producing both quality and quantity of one of Fat Bastards favourite whites, Chardonnay. Known for its rolling hills and valleys and often compared to the Mediterranean, California produces classic examples of oaked chardonnays. Creamy, rich and full of that Fat Bastard feel.

Drink with Gnocchi and sage burnt butter. Whilst most might think the butter on butter mix could clash, we say don’t estimate this Fat Bastard.
