Why is it Special?

What makes the Golden Reserve special is its “Grown-Up” Hedonism. It keeps the fun, unpretentious attitude of the Fat bastard range but introduces a level of Oak Sophistication usually reserved for much more expensive estate blends. It is “Special” because it is a “Golden” Middle Ground—it’s bigger and more structured than the standard red, yet it retains that signature “fat” mouthfeel that fans of the hippo love. It is the go-to bottle for when you want to impress without being pretentious.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet. Expect intense aromas of ripe blackcurrants and dark plums, followed by sophisticated layers of toasty vanilla, mocha, and a hint of sweet tobacco.

Palate: Full-bodied, round, and incredibly smooth. The palate is a dense tapestry of blackberry jam and cherries, supported by velvety, well-integrated tannins. There is a beautiful weight to the wine that coats the mouth in a “fat,” silky texture.

Finish: A long, indulgent finish that leaves a lingering trail of dark chocolate, baking spices, and a final, warm whisper of oak-driven vanilla.

Product details

The Fat bastard Golden Reserve is a sumptuous, full-bodied red blend that represents the “best of the cellar.” Crafted from a selection of premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, this wine is designed to be a “Reserve” in every sense of the word. A portion of the blend is aged in French oak barrels, adding a sophisticated structural backbone and spicy complexity to the naturally lush fruit. It is a deep, crimson-colored red that strikes a perfect balance between intense dark berries and velvety cocoa, offering a hedonistic drinking experience that stays true to the brand’s “out-of-the-box” spirit.

Food Pairing

The Golden Reserve is a "steakhouse classic" that calls for bold, savoury flavours. It is the ultimate companion for a Peppercorn-Crusted Sirloin or Slow-Roasted Beef Short Ribs that fall off the bone. Its rich texture and oak influence make it a spectacular match for Smoky BBQ Brisket or a Lamb Burger with Gorgonzola and caramelised onions. For a vegetarian pairing, try it with a Charred Aubergine and Walnut Bake. If you’re feeling indulgent, it is "Special" when paired with Aged White Cheddar or a piece of Dark Fudge, where the wine’s mocha notes truly shine.
