Chardonnay is probably the most loved and hated wine in the world. Have you heard of ABC – (Anything But Chardonnay)? Some people dislike it, but it is still the world's most planted
white wine grape. Why is it hated? We will try to find the answer in this episode.
If you think you don’t like Chardonnay, maybe you haven’t tried the right one.
Chardonnay is grown in nearly all wine regions, and it produces wines from bright and crisp to heavily oaked and buttery.
Vineyard owners like Chardonnay because it is a hearty grape that grows in various climates. Winemakers like Chardonnay because of its versatility.
