ChardonnayChardonnay, the principal white wine grape in France’s Burgundy region, is Australia’s most popular white wine. The Chardonnay grape thrives in a variety of climatic conditions across Australia. In warm to hot regions, such as the Barossa Valley, Murray Darling, Riverland and parts of north western Victoria, Chardonnay produces full-flavoured wines with ripe, tropical fruit salad flavours and a full texture. In cooler areas like Adelaide Hills, Mornington Peninsula, Margaret River and Tasmania, the wines are more elegant and refined in style, with crisp fruit characters and a subtle texture. Chardonnay is considered a perfect all-round white to be enjoyed with a variety of foods. Its position as Australia’s number one selling white wine looks to continue with wine styles like those offered here.
