The Chardonnay grape can produce quality white wines in a wide range of climates, though the style can vary considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool climates such as Chablis and Champagne, give very steely wines, medium to light in body with high acidity and apple or green plum fruit notes. More favourable sites and slightly warmer regions result in more citrus-flavoured wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn hotter regions the fruit character tends towards melon and peach and even exotic flavours such as banana, mango and fig. Chardonnay from very hot regions can be very full-bodied, high in alcohol and low in acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit character of Chardonnay is rarely pronounced and could be described as non-aromatic. Consequently, it is the vineyard character and wine-making techniques that contribute much to the flavour of a Chardonnay wine. It is common to use malolactic fermentation, which softens the fruit and acidity and gives flavours of butter and hazelnut. Chardonnay also takes well to oak and many are fermented and\/or aged in French or American oak to impart some tannin and rich, toasty, nutty characters to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic Chardonnay regions of production include: Burgundy, Champagne, California, Australia and New Zealand, although high quality Chardonnay wines are made in many other regions too.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"arboleda-chardonnay-chilean-white-wine","title":"Arboleda Chardonnay 2023","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eEvery vintage of the Arboleda Chardonnay stands out for its great elegance and complexity.

Starting with the 2019 harvest and with the aim of strengthening its identity, Ca’ del Bosco’s Chardonnay takes on a new name \"Selva della Tesa\", in honour of the vineyard where this wine was born. Selva della Tesa embodies the territory’s vocation for coaxing out the nuances of the variety, and the winemaker’s skill in transforming them into a great wine. It is obtained from meticulously selected grapes skilfully vinified in full compliance with the Metodo Ca’ del Bosco. Grapes from five superior vineyards are picked, using small cases, and then graded and chilled. Each bunch is selected by experienced cellar staff before visiting the “berry spa”, an exclusive air-bubble bunch-washing system that incorporates three soaking vats and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, only the best must from the first fraction is transferred for alcoholic fermentation in small oak casks, made from selected wood seasoned for three years. The wine remains on its own lees for 9 more months, during which time malolactic fermentation is completed. “bâtonnage”, or lees stirring, is carried out every week to bring the wine to a peak of harmony on the nose and complexity on the palate. Later, the various parcels are blended and the wine is bottled naturally by gravity flow. Innovative bottling systems ensure that the wine is not subjected to oxidative stress or disturbance, and that no further sulphites are added. Integrity and healthfulness are guaranteed. Finally, every bottle is given an individual marking to ensure its traceability. Brightly hued, intensely scented, underscored with a hint of vanilla and a characteristic note of hazelnut. Its taste is full and rotund and its organoleptic structure is so intense as to be comparable to a red, yet it lingers in your senses for its extraordinary finesse.[#intro]Widely considered a reference point as the finest Italian example of Chardonnay...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ca' del Bosco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23536688824378,"sku":"A19CADELBOSCOCHD-1","price":88.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/CHARDONNAY19BT.jpg?v=1730205776"},{"product_id":"ca-del-bosco-cuvee-prestige-rose-franciacorta","title":"Ca' del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 45 NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ca' del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Rosé Edizione 45 is a sparkling wine from Franciacorta in the Lombardy region of Italy.

The Chardonnay was naturally fermented and aged in 300 litre French oak barrels, with 20% new oak.
