Tony Bish Fat n Sassy Chardonnay 2024 (12x750ml)
Tony Bish is one of New Zealand's most celebrated winemakers and has been hugely influential in the development of the modern New Zealand Chardonnay style. Fat n Sassy is styled to deliver discerning Chardonnay lovers a rewarding Chardonnay at a realistic price point. It's creamy, toasty and has plenty of punchy fruit weight.
Another banging release from the chardonnay master with a 93pt review under its belt. A great anytime wine.
Tasting note
Cameron Douglas MS: "A delicious wine from the TB stable - aromas and flavours of fresh grapefruit and peach, lots of apple and fruit spice then a fine layer of vanilla and cheesy cream. Dry on the palate with medium+ weight, plenty of acidity delivers a nice palate squeeze and ensures flavours are available throughout the palate and cellar worthy. Best drinking from 2025 through 2028."
Joelle Thompson: "Winemakers Tony and Oscar are proud to return to their home in Hawke's Bay as the source of grapes in this smooth bodied chardonnay. It has a fleshy mid palate and soft mouthfeel with aromas of peach and apricot kernel with a tangy twist, and dry finish."
ABV: 13%
Volume: 750ml
Region: Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
