Fat Bastard South Australia Shiraz 2025

Fat Bastard South Australia Shiraz 2025 belongs to a range known for generous dark fruit, a plush palate and a peppery finish. It is a full-bodied style for the dinner table, with enough fruit to stand up to slow-cooked meat and enough spice to make a simple plate of aged cheddar worthwhile.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe plum and blackcurrant lead the established profile, with violet and liquorice adding lift. A little pepper and smoky spice sit behind the fruit.

Palate: The range leans into juicy black cherry and plum, with a broad, soft texture. The dark fruit carries through the middle of the palate, while savoury spice gives it shape.

Finish: Dark chocolate and pepper are the signatures to look for as the fruit recedes.

Food Pairing & Serving

Pour with osso buco, beef bourguignon or grilled lamb. Aged cheddar also works well with the wine’s dark fruit and spice. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and give it a few minutes in the glass to open up.
