Chardonnay
Best known in Burgundy, Champagne, California
The world's most versatile white grape. Crisp, mineral and citrusy in cool places like Chablis; rich, creamy and toasty when oak-aged in warmer spots. It is also a key grape in Champagne.

The grape
Where it's from
McLaren Vale
Australia
Just south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale has the sea, the hills, and some of Australia's most characterful Shiraz and Grenache. Less bombastic than the Barossa, with more of an earthy, Mediterranean quality. Old vine Grenache here is genuinely special.
