This Chardonnay has a full, broad nose of refreshing and bright aromas of ripe yellow stone fruits and citrus fruits along with an edge of creamy and nutty barrel-ferment and spicy oak notes, subtle lemon-curd and buttery MLF notes. The palate has flavours of citrus fruits melded with creamy barrel-ferment and nutty, spicy oak.

The mouthfeel is enriched by integrated layers of lemon-curd and buttery MLF nuances. The palate has an underlying freshness with acid poise, and the wine flows along a fine-textured line with creamy nutty notes leading to a sustained finish with toasty oak.

Hawke’s Bays devastating Cyclone Gabrielle in March 2023 resulted in significant loss of the grape crop. Our wonderful colleagues in Marlborough came to our rescue, who enjoyed a brilliant vintage with excellent grape-growing conditions. Pristine fruit was harvested for our beloved Fat & Sassy. A blend of 75% Marlborough and 25% Hawke’s Bay, this wine retains our signature style of being Fat…& Sassy.
