Cat Amongst the Pigeons
Eden Valley Chardonnay
Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Saturday was Fizzy & Crackle’s 5 year adoption anniversary, so it seemed fitting to open this tipple. They’re very spoilt kitties too, that’s their luxe teepee ⛺️ in the photo behind the bottle 😹
A big thanks to Dialogue PR for this sample bottle. You ladies nailed it on the head, cats + wine = one happy TC!
The Fat Cat wine range is available at Dan Murphy’s and BWS and this is a new release in the range. The Cat Amongst the Pigeons 2018 Eden Valley Chardonnay sells for $29.
I found it a bright yellow colour with hints of gold in the glass. When I gave it a good whiff, images of white flowers, apricots and citrus came to mind. While in the mouth it has a lick of juicy melon and lemon with a slight syrupy mouthfeel and a nip of vanilla. Not as big and bold as I typically like my Chardonnay however I still finished every drop. If you like a light and fresh Chardy, this is for you!
PS: The cooler climate of the Eden Valley is ideal for making lighter style Chardonnay like this one. It’s also a top notch region for Riesling and Shiraz 😉
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

And the 6th white wine and seafood pairing for Easter is Cat Amongst the Pigeons Eden Valley Chardonnay & fish’n’chips. It was meant to be matched with a crab and prawn ravioli in a seafood bisque sauce but alas I’ve had one of those days where I struggled to find time to breathe let only create a masterpiece in the kitchen. Next time as that does sound delightful!
This light and crisp Chardy is $20 a bottle and it’s a pale crystal clear yellow on the eye. The nose has hints of minerality, apples, lemon and florals. In the mouth it’s crisp and clean which matched with the fish’n’chips well to cut through the grease. A satisfying meal after a busy day!
