Difference between Chardoney and Dry White

[wondersofwine]

The pinot chardonnay grape is considered to be one of the "noble grapes" of the world. A well-made chardonnay wine may have more complexity and longevity in bottle than some other white wines. The riesling grape is also a "noble grape" and can produce both sweet and dry wines depending on things like ripeness of the grapes at harvest time, climate, etc. Dryer rieslings may be labeled as Trocken (Dry) or Halb-Trocken (half-dry).
