Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Campos de Cima da Serra.
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 GI of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), plateau 800–1,100 m on the Santa Catarina border, cool climate (6–26 °C), day/night temperature swings up to 15 °C, draining basalt soils. Chardonnay is the signature white king: taut with citrus, green apple, white flowers and a mineral touch, vibrant acidity — ideal base for sparkling wines. Airy Pinot Noir and supple Merlot as elegant reds. Speciality: fine, age-worthy traditional-method sparkling wines.
