In the world of wine, Chardonnay is technically classified as a ‘neutral’ grape. What this means in real terms is that, unlike ‘aromatic’ varieties like Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc, the flavours associated with Chardonnay mainly arise from the nature of the environment in which the vines grow, aka the ‘terroir’. Of course oak barrels are another way to impart strong flavour to Chardonnay wines, and you’ll find both oaked and unoaked varieties when you click through to buy from our online shop today. While ‘neutral’ might not be the most appealing word on its own, Chardonnay’s ability to express a sense of place has made it popular with growers around the globe, who use this adaptable variety to welcome you into their worlds.
