INFO
The second most grown grape of all is Chardonnay. Coming from Bourgogne in France Chardonnay has see a world-wide success and can be found in nearly all climate region where you can grow wine. From Denmark down to South Africa Chardonnay is a strong and versatile plant and fruit. Best grown on chalk and matured in brand-new wooden barrels.
Working with the juice after the harvest is where a wine-grower can show his/her winemaking skills. It is like a signature of the overall philosophy of each vinery because the grape-juice needs a lot of attention and care in the process of turning grape juice to wine. Balancing the natural and biological fermentation is key for a creamy and soft wine but is the most challenging with Chardonnay.
