With regular pollination and ripening in the second period, Chardonnay gives the best results on warm and permeable soils. In Hrvatsko Zagorje it covers 28.2 ha.
It starts its annual growth cycle early in the spring, so it is susceptible to late spring frosts. It is susceptible to rot, but resistant to low temperatures. It is compatible with most substrates. It generally has moderate to very good yield, around 8-11 t/ha, depending on the ecological conditions of growth, production technology, and clone. It gives good results with mixed pruning, with long canes and cluster thinning.
The grapes are of high quality, high sugar content, and satisfactory acid levels. The wine is light yellowish-greenish, with varietal aromas which depend on the ecological conditions of growth.
