Tag: Unoaked chardonnay

According to winemakers and sommeliers, a single Chardonnay can range from high-acid and citrusy to low-acid and buttery depending on its origin and production. This wide spectrum of styles shows that the question, "Is Chardonnay wine very acidic?" does not have a simple yes-or-no answer.

The alcohol by volume (ABV) in Chardonnay is not a fixed number, with a typical range of 12.5% to 14.5% or even higher, largely influenced by the region where the grapes were grown and the techniques used by the winemaker.

A 5-ounce glass of dry Chardonnay typically contains just 1 to 2 grams of sugar and around 3.2 grams of carbs, making it a surprisingly low-sugar and low-carb wine option. However, the exact sugar and carb content can vary significantly based on the winemaking process and style.
