FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
92/100 'Premium' | Cameron Douglas MS
Tony Bish is one of New Zealand's most celebrated winemakers and has been hugely influential in the development of the modern New Zealand Chardonnay style. Fat n Sassy is styled to deliver discerning chardonnay lovers a rewarding experience at a realistic price point. It's creamy, toasty and has plenty of punchy fruit weight.
Another banging release from the chardonnay master with a 93pt review under its belt. A great anytime wine.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A delicious wine from the TB stable - aromas and flavours of fresh grapefruit and peach, lots of apple and fruit spice then a fine layer of vanilla and cheesy cream. Dry on the palate with medium+ weight, plenty of acidity delivers a nice palate squeeze and ensures flavours are available throughout the palate and cellar worthy. Best drinking from 2025 through 2028."
Joelle Thompson writes "Winemakers Tony and Oscar are proud to return to their home in Hawke's Bay as the source of grapes in this smooth bodied chardonnay. It has a fleshy mid palate and soft mouthfeel with aromas of peach and apricot kernel with a tangy twist, and dry finish."
The winery writes "Enticingly fruited with aromas of peach, fresh red apple, firm apricot, and nashi pear along with tropical notes of mango and pawpaw. The palate is richly fruited and tropical with ripe stone fruit and creamy mouth filling richness. Hints of toasted brioche and oak spice give complexity, and a fine acid line lends freshness on the finish and length."
