- The hand-made, mouth-blown
Chardonnay glass by waterford Crystal is designed so
that this low acidity is delivered in a way that sets
off the alcohol and rich flavours of the wine,
highlighting its velvety, supple texture, emphasising
the fruit and ensuring a long, balanced finish. This
classic shape allows young wines to express all their
invigorating freshness, while more mature wines are
encouraged to deliver the nutty spicy, mineral
flavours so typical of the variety. Accented with an
elegant gold band at the foot of the stem.
-
- Some of the finest and most
expensive dry white wines are made from this grape
variety, a native of the Burgundy region which is now
grown in almost all wine-producing regions
worldwide.
-
- Chardonnay's popularity stems from
its creamy structure, which balances oaky, buttery
flavours with low acidity. The variety produces wines
of high alcoholic content, often aged in small oak
barrels. Winemakers sometimes add tartaric acid to
adjust for its low acidity.
-
- Some of the finest classic white
Bordeaux wines are made in the Graves region, where a
blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes grown in
this unique terroir yields a dry white wine with a
honeyed bouquet, outstanding mineral components and
great depth and length.
