Great Southern Chardonnay
Great Southern, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
The owner, Joanne Bradbury, of 3 Drops Wine & Olive Oil from WA’s Great Southern Wine Region completed a half marathon in Beirut, Lebanon on the weekend - so I thought it would be a great time to crack into this sample of their 2016 Chardonnay with Mr. Spittoon.
As most of you probably know, I’m a big fan of Chardonnay (https://travellingcorkscrew.com.au/blog/guide-to-chardonnay/) and I strongly believe you need to give every Chardy a chance as they come in all styles and tastes.
This golden hued wine from 3 Drops is made of grapes from vines planted in 1982. It spends some time in French oak to give it enough time to develop a silky texture yet it’s not overpowering. It has lovely intricate layers of acidity and fresh fruit (think peach, nectarine and spiced pears). I also got a hint of butterscotch on the nose which really buttered me up for what was to come 😜
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #sample #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes

⚡️New Release ⚡️
Introducing the newly released 2016 Chardonnay from 3 Drops in WA's Great Southern region. This Chardy spends 8 months in French oak and retails for approximately $25 per bottle.
It's a light sunrise 🌅 yellow colour in the glass. Notes of vanilla bean, rubber, spiced pear 🍐 and slightly toasted pineapple 🍍 come through on the nose for me. While on the palate it has a subtle lick of oak and fresh & vibrant acidity with notes of vanilla infused pears and citrus (mandarin/orange 🍊). Looking 👀 forward to seeing how this on develops!
