Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Pedernal Valley
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Pedernal Valley.
Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
High-altitude sub-region in southern San Juan (Argentina), vineyards at 1,300 m on gravelly flint-shard soils ("pedernal"), cold nights and intense UV. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon signature reds: elegant and precise with blackberry, cassis, plum, violet, spice and fresh mineral hints, ripe tannins and preserved acidity — tauter than Mendoza neighbours. Complex Syrah in red. Vibrant Sauvignon Blanc and taut Chardonnay in fresh whites.
