Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Danube.
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.
Danubian plain of northern Bulgaria, temperate continental climate tempered by the river, fertile chernozem soils. Gamza (Kadarka) is the signature indigenous red king: supple and juicy with red and black fruits, plum, soft spices, walnuts and vanilla touch, melting tannins and fruity freshness. Light Pamid for everyday, dense Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot in complement. Riesling crisp, Chardonnay broad, Muscat Ottonel aromatic, Gewürztraminer floral in whites.
