Chardonnay Wine

Chardonnay wines have a fragrant aroma with green apples and citrus being most prominent with hints of pear and even melon. Its one of the driest wines and takes a lot of its tastes from how its made.

Unoaked Chardonnay is crisp, light, plenty of acidity, and fresh with a medium body. Oaked Chardonnay has a full body, creamy mouthfeel, lower acidity, and show more stone fruit flavours with vanilla a little butter.

Chardonnay originates from the Burgundy wine region of eastern France and is a green grape variety. France produces around a quarter of all Chardonnay with the USA a close second. As its generally an 'easy' grape to grow, its planted in just about every wine growing country.

As a neutral grape, the wine takes much of its flavour from the terroir and the wine making process. Generally cooler climates produce more mineral flavours, whilst warmer produce more fruity flavours.
