Question: Which wine region is most underrated for producing world class Chardonnay?
Answer: That is quite a difficult question. Many producers have looked to Burgundy (which includes Chablis) for their initial inspiration. However most have developed their own signature style taking advantage of local conditions and differing terroirs. There are now a plethora of interesting Chardonnay wines at varying price levels produced from around the world. Buyer’s paradise. Two that have impressed me a lot are both from Shaw + Smith in Australia with Adelaide Hills of 2021 M3 (2022 & 2023 were cooler years but bounced back to normal in 2024) and Tasmania for 2024 Tolpuddle Vineyard – that just scored 98 and ranked #1 in James Suckling Top 100 & his Australia Wine of the Year 2025.
