What makes Chardonnay so great? It’s adaptable, so it can grow in many places. It’s a grape that can be molded and shaped very easily to the winemaker’s discretion. And, of course, it’s great to drink. For these reasons there are a variety of “styles” of Chardonnay based on location and winemaking techniques. Here are a few we think are very special. Enjoy!
