Chardonnay
Top countries producing this wine: |
Chardonnay is a tremendously popular wine and the biggest-selling white varietal in the world. Because of its popularity and adaptability it is grown extensively in many countries including the United States, Canada, France, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and Australia. Because the grape takes so well to many climates, different styles emerge. Steely, mineral-inflected examples from Chablis in the Burgundy region of France sharply contrast the rich, buttery barrel-aged Chardonnays found in Napa Valley, California. The lighter, cooler-climate wines or those that are unencumbered by oak aging tend to have crisp flavors of citrus, stone fruit, apple and pear. Chardonnay from warmer climates or that have extended time aging in oak barrels, lean toward the tropical or exotic fruit side of the spectrum and can have overtones of butterscotch, caramel, coconut or vanilla. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and many wines can be found that are quite balanced between styles. Chardonnay pairs quite well with seafood such as lobster, but also with many white meats such as pork and poultry. Rich, full-bodied examples of Chardonnay can even tread where red wines would be considered the norm. |
Chile

Chilean wine production dates back to the 1500s, when Spanish conquistadors brought vines with them while colonizing the region. French vines were introduced to the region three centuries later. Because the country was an ocean away from the phylloxera plague that destroyed vines in France and the rest of Europe, the country remains one of the few places in the world where French varietals are grown on their own rootstock; nearly everywhere else they are grafted onto disease-resistant rootstock from another type of vine. Over the past 30 years, Chilean wine production has taken off and the country is now the fifth largest exporter of wines in the world. Most of its production comes from an 800 mile stretch of land near the geographical center of this long, north-to-south country positioned between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east. Valle Central, Chile's most famous growing region, is located in the heart of that 800 mile stretch. The most common grapes used in Chilean wine are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenère, which has become the country’s signature red wine grape. |
