Outside of the regions discussed above, Chardonnay can be found in cooler climate sites in [[Italian wine|Italy]], [[Greek wine|Greece]], [[Israeli wine|Israel]] and [[Lebanese wine|Lebanon]] as well as [[Austrian wine|Austria]], [[Bulgarian wine|Bulgaria]], [[Croatian wine|Croatia]], England, [[Georgian wine|Georgia]], [[German wine|Germany]], [[Wines Of Slovakia|Slovakia]], [[Hungary wine|Hungary]], [[Macedonian wine|Macedonia]], [[Moldovan wine|Moldova]], [[Portuguese wine|Portugal]], [[Romanian wine|Romania]], [[Slovenian wine|Slovenia]], [[Spanish wine|Spain]], [[Serbian wine|Serbia]], [[Swiss wine|Switzerland]] and [[Ukrainian wine|Ukraine]]. In Austria, the grape varieties known as ''Feinburgunder'' in [[Burgenland]] & [[Vienna]] and ''Morillon'' in [[Styria]] was not identified as Chardonnay till the late 1980s. Today, Austrian Chardonnays range from the rich, oaked aged varieties to leaner, more aromatic styles based on Austrian Rieslings to [[sweetness of wine|sweet]] [[late harvest wine|late harvest]] styles. In nearby Germany, this distinctly French wine grape was slow to gain a footing being only officially sanctioned since 1991. Today it is most commonly found in the [[Baden (wine region)|Baden]], [[Palatinate (wine region)|Palatinate]] and [[Rheinhessen (wine region)|Rheinhessen]] regions. In Switzerland, Chardonnay is found mostly around [[Bündner Herrschaft]], [[Geneva]] and [[Valais]]. In Spain, Chardonnay has been increasingly used in the [[sparkling wine]] [[Catalan wine#Cava|Cava]]. It is also permitted in the ''[[denominación de origen]]'' (DO) wines of [[Costers del Segre]], [[Navarra (DO)|Navarra]] and [[Somontano]]. In the wine regions of the [[former Soviet Union]], Chardonnay has lagged behind in white wine grapes plantings in favor [[Rkatsiteli]], Aligote and Riesling.<ref name="Oxford pg 154-156"/> The Portuguese experimentation with Chardonnay has been mostly influenced by [[flying winemaker]]s from Australia and the examples produced so far are very New World in style.<ref name="Clarke pg 63-73"/>

In the cool-climate wine regions of [[Argentine wine|Argentina]]'s [[Uco Valley]], Chardonnay has started to develop a presence. In the 1990s, Chardonnay became the second most widely planted white grape variety in Argentina-second only [[Torrontés]]. [[India wine|India]] and [[Uruguay]] have been steadily increasing their plantings.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
