Which white wine is characterized by noticeably high acidity?

Chablis is a style of white wine predominantly made from Chardonnay grapes, renowned for its distinctive high acidity. This characteristic is particularly attributable to the cool climate of the Chablis region in Burgundy, France, where the grapes are grown. The conditions lead to grapes that maintain their acidity even as they reach ripeness. High acidity in wine contributes to a crisp and refreshing taste, making Chablis an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of foods, particularly seafood and shellfish.

While other varieties like Chardonnay can also have high acidity depending on the region and winemaking techniques, they are not universally defined by this trait to the same extent that Chablis is known for its high acidity. Viognier typically has lower acidity and tends to produce fuller-bodied wines, while Gewürztraminer is often characterized by aromatic properties rather than high acidity. Therefore, Chablis stands out as the wine most distinctly recognized for its high acidity.
