Enjoy it now or hold for a few years. No need to decant before serving. Found in the sweeping vista of hawkes bay, new zealand’s oldest wine region, tony bish wines create a wonderful range exclusively from chardonnay. Tony is the only producer in the country to do so. He is obsessed with the grape, and as a self-proclaimed chardonnista , he has been innovating with it tirelessly for the last 30 years. At the core of his refined 6 wine range, you have the fat & sassy chardonnay, which is a pure expression of new zealand’s chardonnay style
A style that tony himself had a big hand in defining. Fat & sassy shows a generous, full nose of citrus, yellow stone fruits, and a savoury oak element, all wrapped up in a blanket of creaminess. It looks pale yellow in the glass and has a thick, viscous quality that is more evident in the mouth. It tastes of citrus fruits
Grapefruit and lemon zest mingle with notes of toasted almonds and buttery notes obtained from malolactic fermentation. This is all underpinned by a distinct acidic freshness, perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it with meaty fish, a creamy chicken dish or even avocado toast.
