Chardonnay isn't just one of the most popular white wines in the world, it's also one of the most diverse. Historically, there were two primary styles of chardonnay, one that is the classic rich, buttery, oak-influenced style, and the other lean, citrusy and fresh. In Australian chardonnay today, more wines tend to fall somewhere in the middle.
