Yes, Chardonnay wine is naturally gluten-free.
Chardonnay hails from the French region of Burgundy but has since developed into the most commonly grown white wine across the world. Chardonnay is easy to grow and does not have a naturally distinct taste, unlike its other white wine counterparts. Winemakers use the grape to show off their skills by creating a personalized taste.
The name “Chardonnay” comes from the Mâconnais region in Burgundy. It was originally grown to mimic the characteristics of a pinot noir but have an easier cultivation process. In the 14th century, Cistercian monks began to grow the grape and crossbreed it. As a result, they bred Chardonnay with pinot noir to create Champagne.
Chardonnay can taste different depending on the climate in which it is grown. It can exhibit tropical flavors in warmer climates but have orchard fruit flavors in cooler climates.
Wine is naturally gluten-free, but wines with extra flavorings or additives may not be gluten-free. If you have celiac disease, stick to pure, undiluted wines. For more information on wine production, visit our main page Is Wine Gluten-Free?
