Tesco Chardonnay wine

Tesco sell a huge range of Chardonnay Wine

When you click on a bottle of wine at Tesco you get lots of information about it. You are told the name, and the price - then you get the key facts about the wine: country, region, grapes, producer, wine maker, whether it's vintage or not, what year it is , what stopper it has (cork or screwtop) and alcohol by volume (ABV)

Tesco also show you the wine tasting to notes to help you decide if this is a wine for you. Wine storage instructions are also shown to help you enjoy this chardonnay at it's best you need to drink it within a year of purchase.

On the background tab they give you information about the winemaker and they also show you on a side menu other wines you might be interested in.
Tesco cleverly allow you to see a closeup detail of the wine bottle label. This is very smart and is useful if you're better at recognising the label of wine rather than the name! It's also useful when you've bought a wine before and want to see if it's the same one!

Deciding which of the many chardonnays available will be a challnge but you can search by price and country too.

Check whether the wine is sold in a 6 or 12 case too. You need to order wine online in multiples of 12 bottles.

 

Chardonnay is one of the best white grape varieties and originates from Burgundy in France. It is available in pure unoaked styles to the oak-aged styles.

The key flavours of Chardonnay can range from Melon, butter, pineapple, apples and if it's been aged in oak you should get a more vanilla flavour from it.

Tesco is a great online shop for buying wine. They have so many different types of chardonnay and with a wide range of countrys producing it you could try them all from tesco.

Chardonnay is made from green skinned grape. It makes white wine. The origins of Chardonnay are said to be in the Burgundy region of eastern France, although it is now widely grown around the world.

Chardonnay grapes are fairly neutral but this allows them to take on the flavours of influences around them. This means that Chardonnay can be anything from a flinty wine of the chablis, to a more rich flavour that's more buttery, all the way to a more tropical fruit flavour, with some wines having a pineapple flavour almost.

Chardonnay is one of the most widely planted grape types, which goes a long way to explaining why the last so many different types of Chardonnay available.

The genetic history of the Chardonnay grape suggests that it is a cross between a pinot and a Gouais Blanc grape. This probably means that it was the Romans bringing the Gouais Blanc to France from the Balkans, and it naturally crossed with a different type of grape to create the great grape we know today.

Chardonnay grows on a wide range of soil types and can adapt easily to different conditions. It takes on flavours related to the soil type it grows in and this is why it was such variance amongst the Chardonnays.
