Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Steiermark.
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.
Austrian reference for lively, aromatic whites (75% of output). Star Sauvignon Blanc (qualitative banner of southern Styria): precise and taut with signature notes of gooseberry, grapefruit, nettle, cut grass and white pepper, an incisive finish. Fresh, lemony Welschriesling (the most planted), ample Morillon (Chardonnay), floral, muscat Muskateller. Spicy Schilcher rosé in West-Steiermark.
