Fat Bastard Chardonnay 2021 (California USA)

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.

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.

2021 was a difficult year in California with drought and below average winter rains creating generally dry conditions. The result was an early harvest, lower yields, however chardonnay showed fantastic smaller berries, flavour concentration and an opulent, natural intensity.
