Chardonnay

Chardonnay grapes

Chardonnay (UK: /ˈʃɑːrdəneɪ/, US: /ˌʃɑːrdənˈeɪ/; fr) is a green-skinned type of grape that is used in the winemaking of white wine. This type of grape came from the Burgundy wine region of east-central France, but is now grown wherever wine is made, from England to New Zealand. For new and developing wine regions, growing Chardonnay is seen as a 'rite of passage'.
