Chardonnay

Chardonnay is grown in every Australian wine region and is Australia’s most widely loved white grape variety. It can be many things, from youthful or aged to lighter unwooded or full-bodied oak matured styles. If you’re after a young, unwooded style Chardonnay, look for a wine with melon, peach, apricot, fig, honey and citrus flavours. But if it is depth and complexity that you are after, look for wines that have a few years in the bottle and are displaying vanilla, toast, yeast, cashew and even butterscotch flavours.
