- Chardonnay is a good-yielding white wine variety that buds early in the season and also ripens relatively early. Chardonnay ripens easily and produces medium-to-full-bodied wines with rich apple, citrus, and tropical fruit aromas and flavors, but the variety's full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter, and vanilla.
