Chardonnay is one of many international grapes grown throughout the world. Even our trip to the country Georgia, that has strong ties to indigenous vitas vinifera, we found some vineyards growing Chardonnay. We have walked in Chardonnay vineyards in Europe, North America and Oceania. Here are some photos of the grape during the growing season. Happy Chardonnay Day.
You can follow the world-wide Chardonnay tasting on Twitter using the hashtag #ChardonnayDay.
In the Northern Hemisphere caps are now showing an many Chardonnay vines.
This stage shows berry touch and the cluster is closing.
Near harvest the berries are soft and ripe with a high sugar content.
Cheers,
