Chardonnay grapes are used to produce mainly white wine, it's also used in blends for rose and champagne, the classic Chablis is produced from 100% chardonnay grapes in the Chablis region is the northernmost district of the Burgundy region of France.

The color can vary depending on age and method of barrel maturation, Aussie chardonnays are often oak ages whereas Chablis is usual unoaked and matured in metal barrels.

Chardonnay is considered a white wine because it is made with white grapes. I know this may be confusing because this technically the grape skin is a light green.

However when viewing Chardonnay in a glass the color can range from almost clear with a pale greenish tinge to amber gold. The reasons for this range of colors are many and if you would like more information on these reasons please feel free to contact again through answers.com.

Frequently the color of a Chardonnay from a warm wine region (ex. California or Chile) the color will be a pale yellow.
