Toms Cap 3 Dog Chardonnay 2017 Gippsland
This was another one of the Toms Cap Vineyard Retreat tipples we enjoyed on our weekend stay at their vineyard cottages here in Gippsland last weekend. This 3 Dog 2017 Chardonnay is barrel fermented yet retains a lot of crisp freshness.
We enjoyed a glass or 3 while in the spa pool at our cottage while the sun set, it was bliss! It is also nice that the cottages have decent glassware – they were Riedel.
In the glass, it’s a medium yellow shade. The nose makes me think of nectarines, vanilla spice, a sprinkling of almond flakes and a slice of honeydew melon. In the mouth, I find it rather textural up front with a nice refreshing acid-driven finish. A delicious balance of oak and citrus. $34 a bottle.
