Chardonnay is a versatile grape that produces a wide range of styles, and the Chardonnays of British Columbia are no exception. The high acidity and fruit flavors of the region's Chardonnays are enhanced by oak barrel fermentation and aging on lees, resulting in complex and highly regarded wines. Some BC Chardonnays are unoaked and showcase crisp apple flavors, while others are barrel-fermented and aged to develop rich, layered flavors. Many of British Columbia's most internationally recognized wines have been Chardonnays, making this grape a standout in the region.
