Chardonnay Rosé

The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Chardonnay, Chardonnay Rosa, Chasselas Roz, Piros Burgundi, Piros Chardonnay and Rosa Chardonnay (the latter name is used in Germany for wine law reasons, as the name Rosé is reserved for this type of wine). It is a colour mutation of the white Chardonnay variety (Gouais Blanc x Pinot Noir). In 2011, the company ANTES Weinbau & Rebenveredlung GbR in Heppenheim (Hesse) planted a propagation vineyard and other trial sites in Germany with the variety on the "Wine and Stone Adventure Trail". The variety produces white wines with a Chardonnay flavour reminiscent of tropical fruit, but is described as fuller-bodied and more complex than white Chardonnay. It is excellent for the production of sparkling wine. There are other trial sites in France (Burgundy and Champagne) and Italy (Veneto). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
