Tony Bish Fat & Sassy Chardonnay 2023
Reviews
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 93/100. This is immediately appealing on the nose with golden peach, mango, pineapple and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a delectably expressed palate offering creamy texture backed by refreshing acidity. Upfront and flavoursome with a lengthy generous finish. A blend of grapes from Marlborough (75%) & Hawke’s Bay (25%). At its best: now to 2027.
Cameron Douglas MS: 91/100. Bright, fresh, youthful and textured wine with aromas and flavours of fresh peaches and red apples. There’s a seam of vanilla and fine lees for breadthand textures, complexity and charm. Dry, medium+ weighted with a core of citrus then stone fruits, some spice and satin texture. Balanced, well-madeand ready to drinkfrom late 2024 through 2028.
Tasting Note:
Vibrant yellow with pale golden hues. The aroma is exotic with grilled peach and nectarine along with hints of nashi pear and tropical fruits, along with delicate nuances of white flowers and oak spices. The palate is full and richly layered on entry with mouth-filling flavours of ripe stone fruit, red apple and sweet mandarin. There are lovely spicy nuances and sassy freshness on the finish with lingering nutty oak complexity.

Additional information
Type: White wine
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vineyard details: Hawke’s Bays devastating Cyclone Gabrielle in March 2023 resulted in significant loss of the grape crop. Tony's wonderful colleagues in Marlborough willingly came to their rescue, and Tony and his team enjoyed a brilliant vintage with excellent grape growing conditions. Pristine fruit was harvested for the beloved Fat & Sassy. A blend of 75% Marlborough and 25% Hawke’s Bay, this wine retains the signature style of being Fat…& Sassy.
Winemaking: Machine harvested fruit was gently destemmed without crushing and pressed to tank for settling. Following racking, the juice was transferred to a large 9hL French Oak Cuvée and barriques for fermentation and maturation. The use of the large 90hL French Oak Cuve adds depth and complexity. All batches went through a secondary malo-lactic fermentation. The wine was aged sur-lie for 9 months before racking and filtration to bottle.
