Why is it Special?

What makes this Shiraz special is its “Unfiltered Joy.” In a world of over-analysed wines, Fat bastard stays true to being “Fat” (Grand) and accessible. It is “Special” because it offers a High-Intensity Sensory Experience without the elitism—giving you the “cigar box,” “mocha,” and “cracked pepper” notes of a premium estate red in a format that is purely about enjoyment. It is the go-to bottle for the wine lover who believes that the best wines are the ones that make you smile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: An explosive and inviting bouquet. Expect intense aromas of ripe plums and blackberries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, clove, and a hint of sweet vanilla.

Palate: Full-bodied, concentrated, and incredibly smooth. The palate is a dense tapestry of bramble fruit and mulberry, supported by velvety, well-integrated tannins. There is a beautiful core of savoury spice and toasty oak.

Finish: A long and lingering finish. It leaves a savoury trail of dark chocolate, baking spices, and a final, warm whisper of mocha.

Product details

The Fat bastard Shiraz is a robust and intensely flavorful red, sourced from prime vineyards in the Robertson and Paarl regions. Here, the warm South African sun coaxes out the grape’s most opulent characteristics. Matured in small oak barrels to add a layer of sophisticated spice to its naturally juicy core, this wine is a masterclass in “fruit-forward” power. It is a deep, purple-hued Shiraz that prioritises a lush, velvety mouthfeel and an explosive aromatic profile, making it a favourite for those who want a red wine with a big heart and an even bigger personality.

Food Pairing

The Fat bastard Shiraz is a "flavour powerhouse" that demands a meal with serious backbone. It is the ultimate companion for Sticky BBQ Pork Ribs or a Flame-Grilled T-Bone Steak with a side of monkey gland sauce. Its spicy nuances and rich texture make it a spectacular match for Lamb Curry or a Wood-fired Pizza topped with spicy salami and olives. For a casual favourite, enjoy it with a bowl of Beef Biltong or a Homemade Pepper Burger. It is "Special" when paired with Matured Cheddar, where the wine’s dark fruit balances the savoury salt of the cheese.
