On occasion, when the mother nature and vines allow, the principal of Fat Barrel is able to talk some of South Africa’s best wine makers and grape growers into allowing him into their cellars on a collective quest to discover “the FAT BARRELS” to craft something special. Generally an exhaustive, time-consuming and at times argumentative process between friends, we settle on one blend that represents each of us and South Africa’s collective best. Limited production, exceptional barrels… from friends, for friends.
