Should check out some Canadian Chard, we have some amazing options from wineries in the Beamsville Bench. Such as Domaine Queylus, Mason Vineyards, Hidden Bench. Pearl Morrisette, Leaning Post, Bachelder, or Cave Springs.
I buy a lot of local chardonnay's from the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, both regions near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Try Mount Mary, Soumah, Giant Steps, Moorooduc Estate, Oakridge Estate, Crittendon Estate, Lethbridge Estate and Yarra Yering. I also love NZ Chardonnay, which is consistently reliable producer of excellent chardonnay - check out Kumeu River, Felton Road, Trinity Hill, Te Mata and anything else from Hawkes Bay.
Thank You for more excellent content. I've enjoyed range of Chardonnay recently. South Africa, Washington state & Chile all served me, literally!, well. Thanks again.
My favorite non French chard has been the Kumeu River Matés Vineyard. Won unanimously in a blind tasting i organized against grand cru Chablis, Montelena and one of the best Argentinean Chards as well!
If you want some great cold climate wines from Australia, the Orange region is absolutely buzzing with quality wines and is becoming one of the fastest growing wine regions in the world.
I'm really happy that you put the Sandhi Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay in your tasting. This is one of the best Chardonnays I've had so far. Another recommendation: I love the Chardonnays from Felton Road in New Zealand.
Hey Konstantin, Here's a long-time follower. I really do like your assessment style and how you teach about wine as you just seem to talk about it. The last wine got me into thinking that if you could make a video about the usage of ambient vs cultured yeasts in winemaking. Best
I just enjoyed a fantastic Chardonnay, produced by the interesting Sommos winery in Somontano, Spain. It was the Collection Chardonnay and cost £36 in a top restaurant in Granada.
Thank you for the comparison of these wines. This is why I like Chardonnay. I think it has lots of versatility and I actually find it easier to pair with different foods than other whites because it can sometimes be creamy, sometimes more acidic, citrusy, etc.
Konstantin, thank you for your videos. I have been a subscriber for several months. I recently had eye surgery which has resulted in me staying inside and not exerting myself over the last week. Re-visiting your videos has been a pleasant diversion from my recuperation. The only problem is that I cannot watch your videos without enjoying a glass of wine which means I’m drinking way too much these days. 😅. Cheers! Salud!
I love Ochota barrels, but they unfortunately have no cellar door so they are only available rarely in shops or online. If it's available in Germany, give their gewürztraminer a try. My favourite style of new chardonnay is from Tasmania, since they usually achieve good acidity even with full malo.
Before all I want thank you Konstantin for keep incorporating wines from my country Argentina, I'm glad you're enjoying them. (: A chardonnay that I enjoyed a lot recently was an Angelica Zapata Chardonnay Alta 2018... which I will consider it as my favourite at the moment.
One of the best wines I've ever tasted is the Chardonnay of Torcello winery, from Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. It's truly amazing, well made and beautiful aged low production wine. And the label is awesome as well.
I think your cork throwing skills are getting better as we go, you’ll be hitting the lens continuously as we go! Now, on the Chardonnay - I’m enjoying the variety, even the hard-oaked ones coming from Australia, I don’t mind it; it’s a distinct style and I enjoy it too. However, since most Greek producers were also doing that (and recently have switched to a more refined, more fresh/fruitly driven approach), I have to give you a hint. Please try the Katsaros Chardonnay. Please do if you haven’t so already, this winery is located at Olympus mount’s foot, and the Chardonnay they’re producing was always the best balanced, crisp and tasty example coming from Greece on this variety. I believe you’ll like it, and value the recommendation. Loved the video, as always
Nice Tasting! I would also be very interested in a international Sauvignon Blanc tasting including Oliver Zeter and von Winning or a Weißburgunder tasting :))
I looove Slint from Ochota Barrels. You are right though - they can be a bit disjointed and austere but they come together beautifully after a few years in bottle. A 2016 I had recently was bursting with yuzu, mango, and jasmine. Still rather lean and energetic but as you said, rather more comparable to Chablis in style. If you’ve got more you won’t regret sitting on it
A wine named after the band Slint got me curious, I must say. Noticed Ochota have one named after a the Cure song and a Pixies album, too. Silly of me to fall for such superficial things, but seeing you gave the first of these a positive review, I'll give certainly be giving their Chardonnay a shot.
Adding a skin contact and an oxidative example would have been informative. Also a good launching pad to discuss reduced flavors (struck match) in Chardonnay.
Hoping you enjoyed hols, and I think the great thing about Chardonnay is precisely that you can get loads of different types in terms of how the wine presents on the nose and palette. Nice one Konstantin! 🌟👍
Australia's Tasmania region is producing some excellent cool climate wines and one can not go past Tolpuddle Chardonnay. Another excellent chardonnay of similar reputation is the Giaconda Chardonnay from Beechworth in Victoria, Australia (sells out in less than 10min on release). Good luck trying to get your hands on a bottle as these wines as they practically have made cult status.
Wow! As always, your video is so excellent quality that it could be broadcasted on TV. I find “new wave” chardonnay in the old world, for me Chablis with its salty minerality is the answer.
Thanks for the video! Being from Arg I know very well Riccitelli's wines, even so I haven't actually tried that Chardo, just the Cab Franc from the same line which I liked a lot. Cheers!
Savaterre Chardonnay from Beechworth, Victoria, Australia. The wine maker Keppell Smith makes a flagship Chardonnay and a second wine called Frere Cadet. Delicious, you have to try some.
Historically, most of Anderson Valley, California, Chardonnay was blended into sparkling wine (home of Roederer Estate & Scharffenberger Cellars). Fortunately today, we are seeing more still wines coming out of our region and they are being very well received, especially when coming from higher elevation vineyard sites. It is an exciting time for our region!
This is just the video I needed. Recently, after not having had a bottle of Chardonnay that I truly enjoyed in what must be ten years, I kind of had an aha moment: I guess I don't like Chardonnay. So why do I keep buying it? Then somehow I got hold of a bottle where I said, "Wow! This is Chardonnay? This is fantastic and I never would have guessed." I guess the trick is to patronize knowledgeable wine sellers and don't be afraid to ask for what you're looking for. It's hard to find a good bottle by randomly shopping because most of them are not good.
Could you offer advice on choosing wine glasses? I don’t have a lot of space for too many varietal-specific glasses, but am curious to hear your thoughts and what brand(s) you recommend.
Konstantin, another great video. My favorite Chardonnay is, I believe, 100% fermented in stainless steel. Called Diatom Chardonnay. It's by Greg Brewer who's won Winemaker of the Year and also makes a phenomenal Pinot Noir. Diatom is 14% alcohol and so interesting! Also loved the shout-out to Agnes from No Sediment. 🙂
My favorite Chardonnays, Sonoma county California (new world oaky flavor), Chablis (old world funkiness), and a wild card…Trentino Alto-Adige, Italy. Spent 4 months in Italy and I enjoyed the Chardonnays from this region.
I was really impressed with Hartford Court Chardonnay. I had a small pour of it from my work-neighborhood sommelier and loved how it was tropical but not overbearing. Russian River Valley, California. 92 points
Another great video. Thanks for sharing the tasting. I love Chardonnay and drink it often but I remember when i was first exposed to fine wines in California back in the 80's through my brother-in-law that white wines were never at the table (since they were considered to be inferior to the reds by him). So I didn't get to experience white wines such as Chardonnay through him but on my own later on. I wasn't aware of this snobbishness on his part at the time. I imagine that this wine elitism still exists but am thankful that it has not become a part of my own perception or tastes.
Bin vor vielen Jahren mit Chardonnay angefangen und hab einiges probiert, auch Corton-Charlemagne und Montrachet GC und natürlich kann das großartig sein, aber Frucht sucht man meistens vergeblich und die guten Sachen sind halt übelst teuer. Bin jetzt schon länger beim Riesling und brauche nur noch selten anderen Weißwein, beim Riesling springen dich die Aromen förmlich an, macht einfach mehr Spaß.
The ABC’s should try some white Burgundies from Puligny and another variant of Chardonnay and is stainless steel fermented from Chablis and aged wines from Louis Michel and Gilbert Picq. The Les Clos from Louis Michel will age forever. In Australia, Tasmania is a ascendant star, with the Dawson and James is superb too.
Was very impressed with Chardonnay from Wittmann. I think Germany has a lot of potential with this grape. El Enemigo Chardonnay is probably the best value for money Chardonnay I’ve come across 🥂
Any made from Ritchie Vineyard if you like minerality, Wayfarer, El Enemigo, anything by Kistler, Leu Passant from South Africa and probably so many, many more that are modern style vibrant and terroir based. Seems like its a golden age for worldwide Chardonnay
We just had a Paul Hobbs chardonnay that is very good. We spend a lot of time in Napa and every winery we visit says " Our chardonnay is not the typical oakey variety like Rombauer" which makes me think that Rombauer is the exception!
When someone comes into my shop and says they don't like Chardonnay, I hand them of bottle of Sandhi and tell them to come back to me. Converting people one at a time.
I don’t know if they all count as new wave, but I really like Zuccardi Q from Argentina, Mac Forbes from Yarra Valley, and Brown Estate House of Brown from Central Valley.
Hallo Konstantin. Ich verfolge seit geraumer Zeit deine Videos und bin sehr angetan vom Content. Mich würde deine Meinung zum Thema Weingläser interessieren, du hattest ja vor paar Jahren schon ein Video dazu gemacht aber vielleicht hat sich seit der Zeit etwas geändert. Ich möchte mir neue Weißweingläser anschaffen aber keine extra Gläser für jede einzelne Rebsorte kaufen, trinke regelmäßig Wein und veranstalte im Freundeskreis hin und wieder Weinproben. Da es bei uns hauptsächlich Riesling oder Chardonnay gibt und die Gläser nun eben ganz unterschiedlich gestaltet sind, stellt sich mir die Frage, wie viel so etwas wirklich ausmacht. Lohnt es sich auch für jemanden mit moderatem Weinwissen, die unterschiedlichen Gläser zu haben oder ist ein guter Allrounder ausreichend? Optisch gefallen mir die Riedel Performance Riesling Gläser sehr aber vielleicht hast du sonst auch einen anderen Tip für einen besseren Allrounder. VG aus Köln
I tend to drink Chardonnay only when there is no other worthy choice. I guess that makes me an ABC-er. Your video has gotten me interested in seeking out some of these less-interventionist wines.
Last wine: It has the perfect entry into the mouth. 94 Point 😂😂😂 Where did the last 6 points get lost. Are they waiting somewhere to be picked up 🤷♂️ and where would that be?
Chardonnay, coming from Burgundy , couple with the easygoing variety able to grow up probably even in the Moon makes them like a desease, it’s everywhere and…I mean quite the difficult to pinpoint the right bottl
Is there a reason why Austrian wines are almost never included in your tastings? Not up to standard or does Leon have a mean ex-girlfriend from Vienna? Chardonnay ist quite common and also for the sparkling tasting there would have been some great options...
Maybe producing only a "Landwein" is less burocratic for a small producer. If going through all the parameters to be a "Qualitätswein" it's may sometimes waste of time and headaches.
@@adamg.manning6088There are a few, like Tscheppe, Kollwentz, Sabathi and Tement. I think Velich is particularly great! Some of these producers are from the Burgenland region but it‘s especially popular in Steiermark (Styria), where the grape is called Morillon :)

It's a good day when we get an episode from Konstantin and Agnes (No Sediment)!
Should check out some Canadian Chard, we have some amazing options from wineries in the Beamsville Bench. Such as Domaine Queylus, Mason Vineyards, Hidden Bench. Pearl Morrisette, Leaning Post, Bachelder, or Cave Springs.
I will be in the area in September. If you had to pick one to visit, which one?
Domaine Queylus Cabernet Franc 🤌🤤
@@arlenesowards6601of those, pearl (if they are doing tastings - I would check) & leaning post
I buy a lot of local chardonnay's from the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, both regions near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

I also love NZ Chardonnay, which is consistently reliable producer of excellent chardonnay - check out Kumeu River, Felton Road, Trinity Hill, Te Mata and anything else from Hawkes Bay.
Was just in Steiermark- incredible Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs- almost unknown in the US and hard to find- but worth seeking out.
Thank You for more excellent content. I've enjoyed range of Chardonnay recently. South Africa, Washington state & Chile all served me, literally!, well. Thanks again.
Great video! The new wave chardonnay i'm in love with is Jonas Dostert Chardonnay from the Mosel
I like un-oaked Chardonnay's because they seem to be more crisp
i hope you enjoyed your holidays, endlich wieder neue Videos 😁😁
My favorite non French chard has been the Kumeu River Matés Vineyard. Won unanimously in a blind tasting i organized against grand cru Chablis, Montelena and one of the best Argentinean Chards as well!
Kumeu River are making great Chardonnay across the board, but the Mate's is definitely the stand out

Love this video Konstantin. For me, Chards from Santa Rita Hills rarely disappoint and are some of my favorite in the world. Glad you featured one.
Oakridge in the Yarra Valley (Aust) are doing amazing things with Chardonnay especially their single vineyard and 864 versions.
Great video mate!! keen to try the argentinian one. Cheers!

Silly of me to fall for such superficial things, but seeing you gave the first of these a positive review, I'll give certainly be giving their Chardonnay a shot.
Same thing drew me in. They make great Grenache too.
Suggest the Arnot Roberts Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay, a personal favorite and dead ringer for the Chablis terroir. Cheers 🥂
I have tried the south Africa crystlum and it’s really cool for the price you paid . It’s a superb 👌
Thanks, Konstantin… Now I have to go to the shop and buy myself a bottle of Chardonnay which I can enjoy tonight🤣
Adding a skin contact and an oxidative example would have been informative. Also a good launching pad to discuss reduced flavors (struck match) in Chardonnay.
My fav Chardonnay has to be Whitcraft Winery Pence Ranch Chardonnay 2019, that was an eye-opener for me
Neudorf from Upper Moutere, Nelson, New Zealand.
Fave new wave Chardonnay: Le Clos Jordanne (Niagara Bench, Ontario, Canada)!
Riccitelli's wines are always a surprise. He's a very unique winemaker, always pushing the boundaries and experimenting with new styles
Giaconda and heytesbury Chardonnays are my favorites in Oz….not a lot new about them though as they’re pretty similar to some from around Beaune.
Hoping you enjoyed hols, and I think the great thing about Chardonnay is precisely that you can get loads of different types in terms of how the wine presents on the nose and palette.

I nice Chablis is something to behold. I don’t like the really phenolic-y Chardonnays, which there are plenty. Hi from Australia.
Ps go Riesling!

You're so right about chardonnay from South Africa, it can be crisp and burgundylike like Cap Maritime.

Bin jetzt schon länger beim Riesling und brauche nur noch selten anderen Weißwein, beim Riesling springen dich die Aromen förmlich an, macht einfach mehr Spaß.
I like them from North Italy, Germany and Austria. Climate wise they are better suited to let the grape mature at a moderate pace.
Nice shout out to Agnes. Great video.
I am an ABC drinker but I'm trying to learn white wines. So thank you very much for this video.
Patrick Puize is a very fun guy to have a tasting with and a few cleansing ales afterwards 🤣
I really enjoyed this video.
Cali Chard coming in clutch...interesting.
Can you do a video on how weather patterns influenced the taste. What can we expect from 2024?
The ABC’s should try some white Burgundies from Puligny and another variant of Chardonnay and is stainless steel fermented from Chablis and aged wines from Louis Michel and Gilbert Picq. The Les Clos from Louis Michel will age forever.

Hi Konstantin hugge fan here from Denmark🇩🇰 would it be possible if u could make a video about food and wine parings😁😁
My favorite new age Chardonnay is Sauvignon Blanc...
In my opinion malolactic fermentation should be carried out only in red wine but not white.
I love Chardonnay from California.
When you saya wine has a dusty aroma what do you mean? When I translate it to spanish, my native language, I can’t quite get it.
When someone comes into my shop and says they don't like Chardonnay, I hand them of bottle of Sandhi and tell them to come back to me. Converting people one at a time.
I don’t know if they all count as new wave, but I really like Zuccardi Q from Argentina, Mac Forbes from Yarra Valley, and Brown Estate House of Brown from Central Valley.
Unfortunately for my wallet I love xxxx-Montrachet rich buttery Chardonnays.

I have been looking towards Washington State chardonnay as its explosive flavors really prove what chardonnay can become.

I personally enjoy Argentinian Chardonnay like El Enemigo!
I love a chardonnay but my wife really doesn't like it so I rarely get to enjoy it. I can enjoy an oak chardonnay but my go to is creamy butteriness.
two wines from hendrik (wal), do you get the wines for free for the video?
No, we buy them.
Chardonnay, coming from Burgundy , couple with the easygoing variety able to grow up probably even in the Moon makes them like a desease, it’s everywhere and…I mean quite the difficult to pinpoint the right bottl
Domaine de l'Enclos Chablis 1er Cru 'Vau de Vey'
A bad Chardonnay means the wine maker chard the bed!
Is there a reason why Austrian wines are almost never included in your tastings?
Not up to standard or does Leon have a mean ex-girlfriend from Vienna?
Chardonnay ist quite common and also for the sparkling tasting there would have been some great options...
I like the fresh and lively style - tasted some realy fresh Chablis. I don’t like my Chardonnay smokey, butterlike and vanilla like…
great educational vid dude....but I remain ABC.
👍🏻👍🏻
Maybe producing only a "Landwein" is less burocratic for a small producer.
If going through all the parameters to be a "Qualitätswein" it's may sometimes waste of time and headaches.
2x South Africa and no Austria. 😢
Who’s prolific in Austria for their Chardonnay?
@@adamg.manning6088There are a few, like Tscheppe, Kollwentz, Sabathi and Tement. I think Velich is particularly great! Some of these producers are from the Burgenland region but it‘s especially popular in Steiermark (Styria), where the grape is called Morillon :)
