Is Chardonnay a village in Australia?
A. You’d think so, wouldn’t you, because the words Chardonnay and Australia seem inextricably linked on so many wine labels. But Chardonnay is a white grape – the white grape of Burgundy – and it really only took off in Australia in the 1980s – since then, with wines like Rosemount and Bin 65, it’s become a global success. Oh, by the way, there is a village called Lindemans. It’s in Burgundy.
