This must variety has medium-sized bunches, compact with a cylindrical-conical shape,  sometimes with two not very prominent wings. This is a small variety that has a thin green-yellow skin. 

From Chardonnay grapes are obtained  still, sparkling or sparkling wines with high alcohol content and good acidity.
