Don't let the name fool you – this wine boasts a surprisingly elegant character, perfect for any occasion.

Uncorking the Experience

Fat Bastard Sparkling pours a pale straw colour, shimmering with a fine, persistent bubble. The first whiff reveals a bouquet brimming with fresh, inviting aromas. Think crisp orchard fruits like apples and pears, alongside a touch of white blossom for added intrigue.

A Sip of Sunshine

As the bubbles tickle your palate, the taste unfolds in a symphony of delicate flavours. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, resulting in a light and elegant mouthfeel. The initial burst of apple and pear gives way to hints of citrus and a touch of minerality, adding further complexity. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving you wanting more.

Food Pairings to Make Your Taste Buds Sing

Fat Bastard Sparkling's versatility makes it a true crowd-pleaser at the table. Here are some ideal food pairings to elevate your dining experience:

• Canapés and Appetisers: Kick off your evening with a selection of light bites. The wine's refreshing acidity perfectly complements smoked salmon blinis, creamy goat cheese with honey, or even delicate vegetable spring rolls.
• Seafood: Let the bright fruit notes of the wine dance with the natural sweetness of seafood. Opt for pan-seared scallops, grilled prawns, or even a creamy fish pie.
• Poultry: Chicken and turkey dishes find a wonderful partner in Fat Bastard Sparkling. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the poultry, while the subtle fruit notes complement the flavours. Try a roast chicken with lemon and thyme or a creamy chicken and mushroom dish.
• Salads: Salads bursting with fresh greens, fruits, and nuts benefit from the liveliness of Fat Bastard Sparkling. The wine's light body won't overpower the delicate flavours of the salad, but rather enhance them.
• Desserts: While not traditionally paired with dessert, Fat Bastard Sparkling's touch of sweetness makes it a delightful accompaniment to lighter desserts. Think fresh fruit tarts, lemon posset, or even a creamy panna cotta with summer berries.

Beyond the Bottle: The Art of Enjoyment

Fat Bastard Sparkling is best enjoyed chilled, ideally between 6°C and 8°C. To fully appreciate the fine bubbles and delicate flavours, consider using a champagne flute or a white wine glass with a narrow rim.
