About Chardonnay
Chardonnay is a popular white wine that originates from the Burgundy region of France, though it is now produced globally. It is made from Chardonnay grapes, a versatile variety that thrives in diverse climates, contributing to its wide range of flavors from crisp green apple to rich tropical fruits. Nutritionally, a standard 5-ounce serving of Chardonnay provides about 82 calories, with minimal macronutrients—it's low in protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium (7 mg) and iron (0.2 mg). As an alcoholic beverage, it does not offer significant vitamins or fiber and should be consumed in moderation.
Health Benefits
- Chardonnay contains antioxidants derived from its grape content, which may help combat free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
- Moderate consumption of wine, like Chardonnay, has been linked to heart health due to polyphenols that may improve cardiovascular function.
- It provides small amounts of calcium (7 mg per serving) which supports bone health, although not a primary source.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Chardonnay in a cool, dark place, ideally between 45°F and 55°F. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3-5 days for optimal flavor.
