Details
This is one for the Chardy lovers out there! You know who you are. An exotic, tropical rich creamy party awaits. Lots of fresh pineapple, passionfruit interlace with yeast, butter and vanilla. This is a New World, oaky style of Chardonnay, and it isn't afraid to shout about it. Revel in the sunshine.
Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Chardonnay is one flexible, sassy grape. It grew up in a place called Burgundy in France, and has travelled to California, Australia, other parts of France, South America... all over the world basically. It can be zesty and fresh in cooler climates, and richer and creamier in warmer ones. It's also one of the few white varieties that performs just as well when treated with oak as it does without. This winemaking change can also affect the body and texture of the wine, leading to a totally different drinking experience. So remember, not all Chardonnays are alike, but we've picked only the best ones for you :) Fun Fact: Chardonnay with oak is typically more golden in colour than Chardonnay with no (or less) oak.

Pairing guide
With its very subtle oaking, and bright notes of tropical and stone fruits, Viña Requingua’s Chardonnay has quickly rocketed into our list of favourite food-pairing wines. It’s a beautiful bottle to share over a dinner of pork chops or pork belly (well, pork anything, if we’re honest), and it’s also going to work really nicely with dishes featuring soft and fresh cheeses, such as ricotta or mozzarella. Chicken in creamy or cheesy sauces is also going to work well, and Chardonnay with lobster, scallops, white crab meat or any other luxurious shellfish is never a bad idea, either!
