Reviews and Ratings

The Fat Man 2018 Pinotage is excellent value under $15. Produced by Old Road Wine. Wine grapes are sourced from the Stellenbosch and Paarl wine regions and the wine is generous with juicy red berries, plum, mocha, savoury herb and spice flavours smooth on the palate. Good acidity for food. Pair with pasta and meat dishes. The Old Road Wine Co. Originals tell a story about the legendary characters who shaped the Franschhoek community in the early years. "The Fat Man was an institution at the local train station, where he would greet new and familiar faces with a friendly smile and interesting anecdote, always accompanied by his loyal hound. This vintage was awarded Gold at the 2019 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
