Chardonnay

Chardonnay is a luminous and elegant fig variety named for the warm, golden tones of its interior, reminiscent of a glass of finely aged wine. The fruit is large in size, often swelling into a plump, rounded shape with a soft green skin marked by subtle striations and a distinctive purple eye that hints at the vivid colors inside. The skin is like velvet. When cut open, Chardonnay reveals a glowing blend of pink, yellow-gold, and orange, creating a striking sunset-like palette.

Its flavor is bright, smooth, and lightly honeyed, with a refreshing fruitiness that brings to mind stone fruit layered with delicate floral notes. The texture is tender and juicy, delivering a clean, balanced sweetness that feels both refined and rustic.

The Chardonnay fig originates from an old farming town along a quiet country road, where it is believed to have sprouted naturally from a bird-dropped seed generations ago. Thriving in roadside soil and summer heat, it became a quiet landmark—an unexpected, self-sown treasure with fruit as golden as the surrounding fields.

It is not yet known whether it requires pollination by the fig wasp for full fruit development. Its behavior suggests a seedling of uncertain lineage, adding to its mystery and charm.

Today, Chardonnay stands as a tribute to the beauty of wild seedlings—rustic, elegant, and shaped by the quiet forces of nature. It is a fig with vineyard-like warmth and a story as golden as its flesh.
