On The House Chardonnay – 30 Bottle Wine Kit

Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape used in the production of white wine. The variety originated in the Burgundy wine region of eastern France but is now grown wherever wine is produced, from England to New Zealand. The Chardonnay grape itself is very neutral and is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of Chablis, France, to New World Wines with oak, and tropical fruit flavours. The flavours become more citrus, peach, and melon, while in very warm locations, more fig and tropical fruit notes such as banana and mango come out.

Chardonnay is arguably the most famous and successful of all white wine grapes and also one of the most widely planted.
