Mid-August
Chardonnay is a white grape variety whose processing produces some of the most popular and complex white wines. Burgundy Chardonnays are often referred to as White Burgundy. The variety is named after the village of Chardonnay, located in Mâcon (southern Burgundy). DNA studies have confirmed that it originated from a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, dating back to Roman times. In the Balkans, it is widely cultivated. Chardonnay is used to produce base wines for Champagne and high-quality white table wines, characterized by freshness, elegance, harmonious taste, and fruity aromas.
The grape flesh is juicy and harmoniously flavored. Chardonnay wines are elegant, full-bodied, and harmonious, with a delicate but distinct aroma and pleasant fruity acidity, often accompanied by a subtle residual sugar. Unoaked Chardonnay typically displays aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus, along with mineral or chalky notes. Aging in oak barrels adds nuances of vanilla, smoke, and oak to the wine.
Clusters range from small to medium size, usually compact, and can be winged or cylindrical in shape. Although the clusters vary in shape, the berries are generally medium-sized, round, and have thin skins. In the shade, they appear green, while in sunlight, their color is amber. Sugar content in the grape juice ranges from 18 to 22.9 g/100 ml, and acidity from 8.2 to 11.6 g/L.
Self-pollinating.
Relatively resistant to cold and drought. Vegetation starts very early, so sites exposed to late spring frosts should be avoided. Slightly more sensitive to gray mold and rot in northern regions. Resistant to chlorosis, but excessive humidity is not suitable.
You can purchase seedlings of Chardonnay grape at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
The depth of the pit is 40-50 cm, and the width is 30-40 cm.
First, a 5-6 cm layer of loose, fertile soil is placed at the bottom of the pit.
Cut the root of the vine seedling to 10 to 12 cm from the main stem (substrate).
Insert the vine seedling into the hole at an angle of 45°. The connection point of the coil should be 2-3 cm above the ground surface.
Once the seedling is placed in the hole, a layer of crumbly, fertile, and moderately moist soil is spread over the roots. The applied soil layer is then firmly pressed down.
The graft is supported by hand below the grafting point so that it does not move during pressing and compacting.
After the pressing and compacting of the soil is completed, the seedling is watered with 5 liters of water.
Then the remaining upper part of the hole is filled with a mixture of soil and organic fertilizer. The soil is first mixed with well-rotted manure, and then this mixture is poured into the hole and firmly compacted by pressing.
In autumn planting, apply finely crumbled soil over the planted seedling and form a mound so that only 1–2 cm of the branches remain exposed. The mound protects the seedling from freezing during the winter.
In spring planting, it is not necessary to form a mound.
