Fat Bastard Pinot Noir 750ml

Fat Bastard Pinot Noir offers vibrant flavours of crushed strawberry, wild raspberry, and juicy plum, with lightly herbal notes throughout. The palate shows ample acidity balanced by delicate tannins and a refined, chalky minerality. It finishes dry and long with hints of black tea and subtle spice, delivering impressive complexity for the price.

This Pinot Noir is sourced from sun-drenched vineyards across the Pays d'Oc region in Languedoc, Southern France. The grapes come primarily from select vineyards in the foothills of Massif Central near the communes of Pézenas and Narbonne. This warm Mediterranean climate produces the bold, fruit-forward character that defines the Fat Bastard style.

This French Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or grilled lamb with herbed vegetables. The wine's bright acidity and delicate tannins also complement roasted pork, earthy vegetarian dishes, and mild cheeses. The fruit-forward profile and refined minerality make it versatile enough to enjoy with casual weeknight dinners or more elegant weekend meals.

The crushed strawberry and raspberry notes in Fat Bastard Pinot Noir work wonderfully with dishes featuring mushrooms, herbs, and lighter meats. Try it with herb-crusted chicken, wild mushroom pasta, or salmon with a light berry reduction. The chalky minerality and bright acidity cut through richer preparations while the fruit complements sweeter elements in glazes or sauces.

Serve Fat Bastard Pinot Noir lightly chilled at 14-16°C to highlight the fresh fruit character and vibrant acidity. Use a Burgundy glass or large red wine glass to allow the cherry, strawberry, and herbal aromas to develop fully. No decanting is necessary, though letting it breathe for 15 minutes after opening can soften the tannins slightly.
