Chardonnay This must be the world's most popular grape variety. Chardonnay has an amazing range of flavours in its repertoire - we wine writers sing of pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, peach, apple, flowers, biscuit, honey, pineapple, toast, vanilla (when oak-aged), butter and cream (when put through malolactic fermentation). Its flavours blend very well with the flavours of oak. In cool climates (Champagne, Burgundy), Chardonnay can be steely and austere, and can age well. In hotter areas (Australia, California, Chile, South Africa) it is rich, ripe and lusciously fruity, generally designed to be drunk fairly young, though the best can also mature for years. It is grown in almost every wine country in the world, failing only in the hottest and the chilliest.
