Fat Bastard Malbec

In order for Fat Bastard to produce high quality, fruit driven, food-friendly wines, the winemaker sources grapes from the best regions around the world. The Fat Bastard Malbec is no exception. Their long-standing relationship with their growers has ensured consistently excellent quality for each Fat bastard varietal, vintage after vintage.

The name really does suit here; this is a big bold wine, albeit a well-balanced one. The fruit is sourced from the home of Malbec- Mendoza in Argentina. Juicy style with layers of berry fruits and fine but apparent tannins. If you love South Australian Shiraz, then you should be drinking Malbec. This wine just cries out for meat - beef brisket, lamb chops or your favourite steak. Great winter warmer.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: A fragrant bouquet of ripe plums and black cherries layered with sweet vanilla, subtle cedar, and a distinct floral hint of violet.
Palate: Deeply fruit-forward, featuring juicy blackberry and dark chocolate. It often reveals savory, complex undertones of tobacco and smoky spice on the finish.
Structure: A full-bodied wine with a rich, velvety mouthfeel. It is supported by fine-grained, chalky tannins and balanced acidity that keeps the dark fruit profile from feeling too heavy.
