Top 20 Chardonnays from 130 Tasted - Exceptional March SALE prices from $15.99 to $46.99!
PRICE GUARANTEE - You won't find these Top 20 Chardonnays on SALE simultaneously at these prices... from one destination, at one time... again in 2025. JEFF
Our Panel reviewed 130 Chardonnays from California, France, Australia, plus New Zealand’s finest. We re-tasted several times comparing across a range of prices and styles - then narrowed it down to the "TOP 20".
They are offered at Exceptional SALE prices from $15.99 to $46.99 bottle... there's a Chardonnay to match everyone's taste in our Annual Showcase lineup!
Chardonnay... the QUEEN of white wine grapes! No other grape is as versatile and beautifully vulnerable to the considered influence of great winemaking.
LAVISH & CREAMY - Loads of new oak, malolactic fermentation and lees stirring. Textural, full and anything but elegant. Flavours of tropical fruit, golden peaches, baking spices, butter, vanilla, toast with a creamy textural finish.
Selection includes - Clay Creek Californian Chardonnay - Collaboration Series Hawke's Bay Chardonnay - Chalk Hill Russian River Chardonnay - Latour Creamy Chardonnay.
RICH & OAKY - A modern style which balances fruit and oak. With more oak, riper and more concentrated fruit characters are needed to keep the wine in balance. Flavours of peach, nectarine, grapefruit, nuts, flint and toastiness.
Selection includes - Clearview Estate Beachhead Chardonnay - Villa Maria Reserve Hawkes Bay Chardonnay - Clearview Estate Reserve Chardonnay - Isabel Estate Wild Barrique Chardonnay - Te Mata Elston Chardonnay - Ata Rangi Potiki Chardonnay - Isabel Estate Chardonnay - Pyramid Valley Pastures Manatu Central Otago Chardonnay - Vidal Reserve Chardonnay - Tohu Awa Upper Awatere Chardonnay - Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay.
FINE & FRUITY - A fruit forward and often elegant style of Chardonnay with no overt use of oak. Think Chablis and lightly oaked Chardonnay. Flavours of citrus, pear, white flowers with minerality and salinity.
Selection includes - Kumeu Village Chardonnay - Grove Mill Marlborough Chardonnay - Grove Mill Marlborough Chardonnay - Smith & Sheth Cru Waitaki Chardonnay.
This is the time for Chardonnay lovers and ABC (anything but Chardonnay) drinkers to explore and experiment. Chardonnay is by far and away the world's #1 white grape variety... for good reason. Vine age, viticulture, winemaking and quality of oak have evolved during Fine Wine Delivery's 27-years... where you can hardly reconcile those earlier Chardonnays with the excellence and pleasure on offer in our "Top 20" of 2025.
We've done the hard yards for you... shop with confidence.
Enjoy, JEFF
